Yeah, but `unexists' didn't last that long. :-) Anyway, I just don't see much of an upside to changing the what symbols are used in internal data structures.

So there's a downside (people flipping back and forth between versions will have to resync stuff), and the upside remains to be demonstrated. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/
