I don't recall that I was trying to discuss what it *is*. I thought I was trying to discuss what it *might be*. I was under the impression that I was sort of off in the Blue Sky world of saying "Gee... This feature would be more useful if it was more like this...." rather than saying "My understanding of the feature is that it *is* this...." But I could be wrong about what it was I was talking about and I'm willing to stand corrected if someone out there knows more about what I was talking about than I do.
