I don't see it that way. Adding a hook is heavier, since it is added complexity and calls for documentation. By contrast, one less function that can't effectively be advised is LESS complexity at the interface level, even though it is a little more complexity in the code. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
