The original complaint, which has been repeatedly sidestepped, is
that instead of just calling it a bug, they said that it was "by
design". My point is that even if something is working the way it was
designed, it can still be a bug. Lots of text has been thrown about
explaining why it works the way it does, but it still ignores the fact
that it is cowardly and annoying for them to insist that this isn't a
bug.
Hey, anyone remember Y2K? That was most definitely "by design", and
there were very good efficiency reasons that dates were stored the way
they were. But it was still a bug: dates have century components. And
256+ character-long strings can be cast to upper case.
