And inevitably, every time, other slogans come to my mind: "C is not an assembly language", "No features (ordering) without users", ... For the record, I won't try to push this patch further; I also have no plans to touch herd7 internals in order to add the ad-hoc flag for the (dep ; rfi) thing. (Maybe others will/can step in here.) In the meantime, the hope (admittedly, probably vain) is that this RFC could serve as a further warning or as a reference to those developers who are quivering to use (dep ; rfi): enjoy it, be careful.
