Ok, we wouldn't want to bother you in that case. I hope we can, however keep the discussion on this list, we'll keep the *gettext* subject so you can go over to other things as long as you don't have time for this now, is this ok? But if it's not ok just say so :-) > If you want to implement something here now, that's your choice. > But please don't be mad at me if I choose to do things differently in > version 1.5. We could live with that, I think. but I also think there is some time then, for things to sediment and get tested, and prove to be good or bad, so it's ok in the end if they get what they deserve: adopted, even if only as idea, or dropped...
