My university professor once said: "If you write code that other people will or have to use and they are supposed to use it without having to read your source code first, implement every method/function in such a way as if everybody out there has only one goal: Breaking it! Either by feeding completely absurd input parameters to it or by calling your methods/functions any completely absurd order or combination you can ever think of". > Excuse me for saying this, but I think this particular discussion has gone on > too long.

Actually I think I didn't get answers to those questions, because nobody knew the answers and instead of arguing why the answers don't matter, people could have just admitted that they don't know the answers either. Anyway, I think I figured out those answers all by myself in the meantime.
