Not sure what you mean, but "for the record" definitely never had any such conversation with Charles that I know of -- plus, it's probably not my position, so should not be part of any conversation I don't know of either :). (FWIW, in these four posts, I did not present my closure position, just trying to understand some of the responses). I'll probably google this string to see what you're referring to, but I'll *guess* that Charles is probably referring to some people feeling that Plan 9 C extensions are permission to open the floodgates. -- Greg Comeau / 4.3.10.1 with C++0xisms now in beta!
