- I don't see it as that *much* more complex.
- I seem to estimate the probability of that future demand
    differently than you. That's just gut-feeling on both sides.
- That it happens to work ok with those errorcodes currently thrown
    from the core does not yet make it perfect.

Anyway, all my arguments have been said. Seems like I just failed to
prevent what I consider a bad thing from happening to Tcl. Alas. <EOD>
