I agree; however, this is not a matter of a particular library, but of a large number of libraries, not all of which have anything to do with databases. > As I already replied to Graham, immediacy vs. non-immediacy is > an implementation detail and shouldn't concern us here. I have already conceded this point. The issue is having a unique object universally available that is of a disjoint type. -- A mosquito cried out in his pain, John Cowan "A chemist has poisoned my brain!" http://www.ccil.org/~cowan The cause of his sorrow [EMAIL PROTECTED] Was para-dichloro- Diphenyltrichloroethane.
