> Let me just kindly ask you to restrict the habit of numbering
things starting from 0 to programming in C (and derived languages). In
these languages it is a trick to map array indexes to address
arithmetic; out of this scope it makes no sense.
the scope it makes sense in is that the first four were already numbered 0 to 3 before i
had any say in them. the fifth, if numbered consecutively, will have to be freedom 4. if
i number it freedom 5, and put it up to the rest of the list, people will say "what
happened to freedom 4?" i dont think thats better.
likewise, if i take the great liberty of renumbering all the freedoms, when people hear
of "freedom 0" they will ask whatever happened to freedom 0? i thing the best
course of action by far is to follow the numbering convention already in place and retain
compatibility.
Sorry it wasn't your fault then. You had no choice ツ
