sure, but it's a solution that works for now and that can and should be changed once our infrastructure is ready. waiting for perfect solution is silly when you have something around the corner that will work.... > i prefer to leave source as it was written, but we can instruct the > compiler to insert primitive > once we discover that it is not there but without modifying source code. it's funny to see, but even when you gave your demo even you couldn't type the pragma definition yourself, so how do you except this to affect newcomers?
