Plus I suppose a testsuite could just call a function that chooses which method to use. There ought to be a testsuite that's maintained separately from any of the implementations, and I figure such a testsuite ought not to use the nop hack. I figure it could make it optional, though, and allow some implementations to support it. -Pete
