That's what I meant myself. Thanks Paul, I was beginning to think I was alone...
This shouldn't be a problem for a carefully designed and refined library. The submitter's typical response should be "Yes, I considered this, and rejected it because of X, Y, and Z."
I have to agree with Peter on this one. If there is a radically better idea for a library, it seems to me that a mature library would have a good reason for not taking that direction, or else the library author needs to go back to the drawing board and consider it. Dave
