+1 for column D

I think (in order of strength of my opinion) - naming is very important - plus-equal (et al) is better than any of the other options ie column A has the best operator names. Given the 4 options, I would pick A for this reason alone. - supports_ is better than can_ or can_call. - has_operator_ is somehow better than has_ (makes the wording work better) - supports_ might be better than has_operator_. (Being a "mathy") I understand Joachim's reasoning for "has", but I think "supports" flows well and is also quite accurate in the meaning we are trying to express. So I'd vote for supports_A, if that column existed, else A. supports_A is as short as D, flows like A and is accurate. I'm not at all concerned that "supports" hasn't been used in meta-templates before - I think that is possibly a plus. Obviously just my opinion, Tony
