No, but klieber probably can, since he was the main proponent of not disallowing negatives. Having said that, "I can't think of one" is by no means equal to "there are none". I can't think of any reason why anyone would ever possibly want to use XML for anything, for example, but I'm sure *someone* somewhere out there has a legit use for it. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
