Bush you, was that once you got the information, _which_ particular form the FFI glue code should take is trivial. the argument, since you missed it completely, was against having a _standard_ FFI form, since that is such a trivial piece of the whole equation. do you get it _now_? I realize that some people are so devoid of ethics as to pretend that other people said things they never did simply by putting those funny "" characters around any damn lie they want, but I take exception to that, and I take exception to the whole personality of people who are so mind-bogglingly unware of their own actions as not to realize that they are doing this kind of shit. go away, Fernando D.
