Indeed. And it'd be good if Kevin could consider that this forum is
for technical discussion - not democracy but meritocracy,
best-solution-cracy and perhaps "fix-patch-ocracy". And that people
that have written good code in the past, posted amazing patches, and
wondrous test cases can sometimes get a bit more opinionated. But
newcomers needs to earn a bit of respect before lecturing people.

Kevin, other people have already started posting nice nuggets of test
cases. Where are *your* test cases? That would be a nice way to "have
the last word" on this ;-)

cheers,
