If you think it can, you are horribly confused. * Erik Naggum > Such are the results of incompetence at work. * Erann Gat | One could respond the same way to every frustration anyone has ever had | with any programming language. Well, there is a crucial distinction between incompetence at the designer end of the language and incomptence at the user end of the language.
