I agree, but: - It may be handy in small script-like programs. - It has the advantage of removing the need of the "all.d" modules that are hackish. - Once you use it such * syntax can be recognized by automatic tools that test for code quality (like an IDE, or like this single Python module used by Google to spot troubles in C++ code: http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cpplint/cpplint.py ). So they may complain :-) Bye, bearophile
