And finally, every review should answer this question:

Not at the moment. I think we need a more thorough discussion on alternative interfaces. We also need to discuss the issues that were raised in the review. I'm eager to hear Steven's replies. He seem to be a bit too quiet?
I'm really tempted to say "yes" and let Steven address the concerns raised (including mine). I'm very confident in Steven's abilities. He's one of those who still gives me the "oooh" feeling with his code. And, I really *NEED* such a switch utility now and not later.
So, please take this as a soft "no" vote for now. I encourage Steven to get more involved in the discussion and consider all the issues raised. As soon as these matters are ironed out, fire up another review ASAP.
Oh, perhaps I'd like to ask a review extension. If Steven can reply to my concerns and is willing to address them, I might still change my vote to a yes. I really need this facility now! Bottom line: more discussion please! This is a small library, yet it is (to me) very important. Let's get the design correct.
