That might sound funny the first time. But when it becomes a recurring answer, it reaaly IS UNPLEASANT. Yes, I noticed the smiley but, this is at least the second the time, in a relatively short timeframe, you're making similar answers to reasonable concerns and I would hate it becomes a canonical answer to whatever concerns. Apart from that, I believe different front-ends may have different constraints as is the case for the Java vs. C++ front-ends, having to do with language semantics. -- Gaby
