Sure.  But when a person declares something "pointless," if they are asked
to run the standard test suite, it will shorten the conversation.  Nothing
wrong with a "heads up" question as per the original post, but really, why
argue in detail about design decisions that are probably there for a
reason?  Either a logical reason or a historical reason; doesn't matter.

Rob, I'd still like to know the original problem that prompted you to delve
into this.  I read this thread because I've faked convenience libraries.
What was your driving problem?
