Nice idea, but I seem to remember that in fact I/we had to put this back in
specifically for T24. All the things you mention, and anything that you
could mention are unfortunately relied upon implicitly by almost all
software. If I had a dollar for all the Universe bugs we had to recreate so
that we could port things, then there would be a run on dollar bills.

The system is what it is, and there is no changing it. This is not the jBASE
guys saying this, this is all the users.
