Thank you for that reminder.

You're absolutely correct, of course.

Andrea, I'm sorry I haven't made it clear that my standard is "is this
something that should be merged", not "is this very good code". It is
the latter, as I've said before, and I think the native-comp branch is
extremely interesting and should be merged VERY soon.

Again, you're absolutely correct. In the specific cases I mentioned,
my main concern is that other hackers will find it too frustrating to
encounter subtle restrictions that sometimes, incorrectly, feel like
pitfalls and look like bugs.

Thanks again,
Pip
