Yes, I see your point (though really it doesn't: the license is to make promises and their values *completely* indistinguishable, such that they are forced whenever you touch them). But anyway, I'm now against insta-forcing, as it makes APIs that return promises unportable. -- A mosquito cried out in his pain, John Cowan "A chemist has poisoned my brain!" http://www.ccil.org/~cowan The cause of his sorrow [email protected] Was para-dichloro- Diphenyltrichloroethane.
