Hi Tim,

I was just joking, anyway I think we are both right, I was referring to
hidden features (not documented but easily discoverable by looking at
the code) that you must explicity use, I'm with you for sure if an
hidden features suddenly pops up even if not explicitly used by you and
introduces a big bug. ;-)
