  In TS it is DAMN!!!! confusing. (Since you and Emil have lived with it from 
day one I know it is not confusing to you; but it is confusing to everyone 
else).

  In SNES it is a very minor confusion.

  We absolutely need to fix things that are DAMN!!!! confusing. Fixing things 
that are minor confusing is much less important. So it would be fine to change 
SNESComputeFunction() but I have no reason to be adamant about it.
