+1 to that approach. I volunteer to do the necessary changes if we
reach
a consensus.
Well, why not? Seems like a good compromise. Have the old method
compute the end-index off the passed length, and delegate the call
the new version...
Then you can actually /see/ how silly it looked, and why I decided to
make the change in the first place.
The end-result will be the same, only it will take a few more months...
In the meantime, I'll see if I can pass you some other info about the
future. ;-)
