I deleted it then I realized many lines like these files_downcast(ref_store, REF_STORE_READ, "read_raw_ref"); would become files_downcast(ref_store, 0, "read_raw_ref"); I think for newcomers, the former gives a better hint what the second argument is than a plain zero in the latter, so I'm inclined to keep it. -- Duy
