I agree. If you were going to do that you would need to go through every line of code to find anywhere where someone had assumed they were consistent (which could be a lot of places - it's a safe assumption, so why not make it?) and thus written code that would now be broken. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
