I think both of those missed some of the impact on statics and serialization. I'm all for the runtime checks remaining in. In fact to have runtime safety there is going to be some kind of a runtime check in there somewhere. It's the fact that I end up rewriting the same code over and over again that annoys me. --Chris -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
