I think there has been at least a little support for the proposal, although certainly not consensus among those who have been vocal. I'm just trying to determine what exactly is distasteful to the vocal minority and to unearth any alternative approaches that might satisfy more of the community. You haven't raised any concrete issues other than ``I don't like it'', so it would be hard to imagine why one would bring it to the TRB. To try to get you to contribute something (since you seem to want to participate constructively), do your objections include objection to the special treatement given to `non-standard' symbols such as err, warn? Why or why not? I'm also pretty sure that one doesn't need TRB/core approval to continue a on-topic, technical thread in this forum. But hey, I could be wrong. Cheers, -- Jacques Vidrine .
