I'll commit that within the next days if nobody objects.
Looks good to me. >> I'd say that we should at least enable "parallelvec = ghostedvec", if >> everyone agrees.

And he's quite right; the proper definition of "natural" here is "doesn't need any more code", for which "doesn't need any more communication" is necessary yet not sufficient. > Hence I'd like to leave that to somebody else, as long as I don't need that > for my application.

Yeah, there's no functionality here that's really *missing*, just some that's not as convenient as it should be. But it'd be easy to augment the API incorrectly if we didn't have an application really testing it, so we'll wait until someone else needs it. --- Roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
