Dave, I got the copy of the message you sent. While the rules as currently defined are not clear and not even what you would expect, I don't agree that "insane" (or such words) are qualifications that should be used if you wanted a technical discussion about your request.
Since I joined his comment with a warm "yeah" I feel the need to clarify that, to me, it didn't carry any depreciative judgement against the committee. I'm not a native speaker and, in context, the term looked to me as simply meaning "extremely dangerous". Only after your reaction I have seen on the dictionary that it is a little stronger than I imagined. Sorry for that, but really I don't have actual spoken practice in English. I also want to apologize with Brian, Yannis and Mat, since this is the formal review FC++, not a comp.std.c++ thread. I had a look at the documentation but it is really overwhelming so I should probably find another way to have you forgive me than making a review, at least for now :)
