I'd given that some thought and concluded that it wasn't safe to take V2 out of V1's list, in case what we were searching for among V1's locations was precisely V2. Now, maybe there are ways around that that (say, canonicalizing a value before searching for it) that I haven't given much thought. I didn't think it would buy us much, but I could easily be wrong, and I'd be glad to look into this given evidence that I am. -- Alexandre Oliva, freedom fighter http://FSFLA.org/~lxoliva/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Gandhi Be Free! -- http://FSFLA.org/ FSF Latin America board member Free Software Evangelist Red Hat Brazil Compiler Engineer
