That's a great antidote to the spread of theoretical fears. Wholesale changes to the std lib are unlikely to happen regardless. Broad patches just to spell things differently without _need_ are discouraged. > This topic has been argued and argued and argued on two mailing lists > for over four months.

It won't be merged, but having the diffs makes it all concrete. And while I don't particularly care to argue about coding style myself, at least that would be a _new_ thing to argue about ;-) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
