It's mostly a pain when you're dealing with callbacks, tho. If your comparison routine might throw an error, and your sort routine doesn't declare the comparison routine as capable of throwing an error, you're pretty screwed. Of course, you can throw a run-time exception, but that kind of defeats the purpose of declaring such things. -- Darren New San Diego, CA, USA (PST). Cryptokeys on demand.
