So, then I don't know it any more. There seems to arise a complete new rule
here. I think any improvement of implementation should be acceptable always,
in a hack or in other code as well.

Discussions more often then not have no end, or clear conclusion, and don't
really feel like losing that much time on something so minor as this. I'd
rather suffer a few -1's then, which at least is clear. Sensible
implementation suggestions are always welcome, but as long as they are not
changing the complete idea of the hack, and I'm not going to ignore them,
just because that would change my original proposal.

I would nearly be inclined to offer each hack without code, but just with an
outline. It would be more like a project then, which has carte blanche about
implementation. So I see a big discrepancy. A project may do everything,
and a hack (basicly a small one-man project), may not even add a semicolon,
becasue that was not proposed. It makes no sense.

I could also request a project for this, but that would be rather idiotic.

Let's extend every hack-proposal to 6 days, in which the first three are for
discussion. Remarkless votes should then be in the last three or so.
