Ah! Well, that is a different story, then. :D My hometown also drives on the wrong side of the road (I learnt driving after I left), and I'm also still chickening out, in spite of having driven in LA. :P Well, that, and over there there are no driving laws -- the so-called "laws" are in practice only rarely-heeded recommendations. You find 3 lanes of moving cars on a 2-lane road, and people parallel-park leaving only 2 inches between cars. Nope, not for me. :D I suppose this is like Walter not daring to write code with 1-based arrays. :D On that note, though, in D I only rarely actually need to specify explicit indices. Foreach and generic code alleviates most cases of explicit indexing I'd normally write in C/C++ code, and I wouldn't be surprised if much of my code could actually be ported to 1-based indexing with only minor changes. But I suppose if you're doing matrix/tensor math, you can't really avoid this. T -- Democracy: The triumph of popularity over principle. -- C.Bond
