I certainly will. Andrei's chapter didn't convince me but maybe reading something more specialized to contract programming specifically will convince me :) About my pass-by-value problem, I am not used to working with structs, I usually work with classes. That's why I completely forgot about post-blit constructors... Still my sorting problem isn't sorted out.
