I think that's what Ville meant was bikeshedding.
Right, I was just going off on what I've seen elsewhere: naming being discussed and someone pops up with "Bikeshedding!" =================== Actually I think the correct term for the code I originally posted is: "crap" and you tactfully suggested decent code, Ville improved it further. I don't see bikeshedding there.
