Well, OK, if you don't want to formulate a clear policy that's your
prerogative - you're really the only person that can do that.  I do
think it might be worthwhile for you to do though.  There is a very
clear policy on doctests, that they are required for every function,
and I think that's made a huge difference compared to just encouraging
people to do it.  I thought your earlier post was in fact a
formulation of such a policy for INPUT/OUTPUT blocks, and I wanted it
clarified.

Anyway, my apologies if it didn't come across well.
