And that's my point. If it matters, YOU should pass -id X instead of letting us generate one. In other words:
set f [form #auto] ; $f checkbox foo -label Foo ; ## Note, I don't care about an ID here. $f checkbox bar -label Bar ; ## Don't care about this one either. $f checkbox moo -label Moo -id bar-checkbox ; ## I'm going to style this or use Javascript, so I need its ID. If you are letting US auto generate IDs and then using those in your CSS and JS, you're a bad, bad developer. One, tiny change to your HTML, and your shit is busted. If you rejiggered your form to move Bar above Foo, you just screwed up their ID you were relying on. The documentation should say that if you don't give us a -id, we'll auto-generate one that is unique. That's it. We can give people rope to hang themselves, but we don't have to put it around their neck and give them a push.
