Unless you provide real generic functions that can be used by anyone for anycase, the original situation is still there. You only covered some common cases, but people will continue to write their own fixup functions because they can't fit the narrow scope of the provided fixup functions with their cases. -- Dan _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@openser.org http://openser.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel
