   In that vein, I think the original intent of the policy was to
   prevent ill-behaved people from preventing collaboration across
   gender lines. Both the policy, and the argument I offer here, are
   aimed at increasing collaboration on points of agreement.

Right, in C:


#include <gnu/philosophy.h>

bool
cool_meeting_p (hacker_t *one, hacker_t others[])
{
  coolness = true;  /* hope is degenerate! */

  /* Prevent the prevention.  */
  assert (one->well_behaved);

  for (...)
    coolness &= collaboration (one, others);

  return coolness;
}

But, this code is buggy.  What is the bug (as discerned from this
discussion)?  What was the fix?  What is the long-term fix if any?
