Remember that I completely agree on the technical issue here.
But this is by NO means a blemish, and if it causes you embarassment, it just
means you lack perspective.
There are good arguments on both sides of this issue.
Which side you come down on depends on your evaluation of the relative
merit of these good arguments. It is clear that the general viewpoint
is that the disadvantages of allowing this kind of specification outweigh
the advantages.
I find this perfectly reasonable, and not the least bit embarassing to
describe and defend!
