Right. But my point is precisely that if you start with
a feature restrained original, you end up with a
feature restrained conversion

Yes this is the C culture. In five years of work with the Delphi
compiler (and predecessors) I found one obscure bug in the RichEdit
implementation for MT.
In two weeks with the MS Visual C++ 5.0, I had already stumbled over
several major bugs, one of which required partial recoding.
