Well, you can now have code that compiles and is correct :-)
Seriously, the only problem with Brian's fix was that it added a new
variable. It would have made the stats list functions not work. I
think that, for the period of time it would have been there, it would
have been the right thing to do: most people don't use Vinum, so the
breakage there is just a thorn in their side. For those who do,
they'll notice the problem and report it.
