I hope not.
xHarbour reach the level where core developers have serious
problems to control the code and understand/know all hacks
inside and all internal dependencies created by direct accessing
of HVM structures.

I hope that sth like that will not happen with Harbour.
It's very important to use only documented API (BTW this code example
can be written using only document API functions)

In the worst case we will have to create list of users using such
hacks to ignore any bug reports from them.
I do not plan to wast my time looking for GPF or any other problems
if they can be caused by none core code accessing HVM internals.
I still remember how I was working on xHarbour core code and I'm very
happy that now I do not have to spend most of my devel time looking
for the any interactions with any other code accessing HVM internals
when I wanted to change sth or looking for reasons of some GPFs or
or other unexpected problems reported by users.
Current Harbour core code is still not perfect but for sure much much
better then xHarbour one so working on core code is much more efficient.

best regards,
Przemek
