Yes, I'm -0 really. As I said, I don't really care one way or the other. I just wanted to voice my opinion that it looks weird to me and we should be aware of that (not that it looks weird to me in particular, but that it could look weird to others). I know that when I look into a library I will think less of it if I see them doing something a little quirky, especially if it appears to be done just to be doing it (or to look clever). I'm not saying that's why this was done and I agree that the design is sound. I'm just thinking of outside folks and how they might perceive IO when they see something like this.

We'd know that there was opposition to it and could avoid it in other Commons libraries. So far it seems that people are tending towards liking the feature (Martin, Niall, Jörg, Simon) - with James, you and myself thinking it looks weird. James and I seem to be -0 to the feature rather than -1. So consensus so far seems to be towards leaving it in.
