And we really try to avoid debates like this, Larry made a decision decades ago, and it's not subject to review or change. Rule 1 stoped being a useful rule when we lost rule 2. I do think it's possible to make this change. I very much think the behavior that is being proposed is more intuitive (and tellingly I haven't seen anyone argue otherwise). IMO there are three questions that are relevant for deciding whether we should do this. * What will break? * What does it cost us in complexity? * What does it cost us in performance? None of those questions (or their answers) involve invoking Larry. LeonThread Previous | Thread Next
