I'm not here to give software engineering courses, sorry. But if you want, we can start from the very simplest: choice implies performance and conceptual costs, so unless it's justified by actual needs it's bad. So we're back to "why do you think we should also accept strings?". > And what about faces? Can a given face have two different names? We have No, but two faces can have the same name. And there can even be a face which has a unique name and yet `intern' does not return the corresponding face. Stefan
