I got my numbers mixed up. The one without consensus yet >is 2 (lists must be 100% safe). Ahhh yes. That's quite true. However, I think I was one of the main folks in the anti-safe contingent, and I'm willing to cede the point now. Perhaps the (any?) others will too, after looking over the a new interface using it. I have a new strawman version that I'm not going to have a chance to post until tonight, unfortunately. This version, among other changes, will present a safe iterator solution. It also addresses a lot of the other issues. If we can get general agreement on this approach, and on the new naming scheme and some of the other little issues, we may be able to move forward from it to the next phase. I have high hopes (perhaps soon to be dashed) that this is what will occur. At worst, I'm hoping it won't need more that one more *minor* revision. This new version does not adopt some of the things that Nick has been pushing for; certianly not his iterator approach. However it actually does owe a great deal to Nick's input here, and to his SCL work. So I don't want Nick thinking I feel his input has been unwelcome or unhelpful, because in fact quite the opposite has been true. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html No trees were killed in the sending of this message.
