There is no formal/informal regular/nonregular here. :-) Don't you see how
that would just add even more confusion? :-)

No, I already stated my suggestion #5 as a solution.

We are providing an excellent solution to solve that problem that you are
discussing. If you don't like it, then you are going to be forced to come up
with your own solution or help us change our solution to match your tastes.
That is exactly what this group is all about. You can either choose to play
with us and gain the power from that or choose to play on your own and
continually re-invent our wheel.
I'm not trying to be harsh, just honest. There is only 24 hours in the day
and we are trying our best to come up with solutions that work for the
broader whole.
:-)
