I think it would be amazingly handy to be able to test for these in a debug situation and trap them as errors. For example, that hoary old array-with-holes-in business --- I'm quite certain there's production code out there that suffers from that.) -- ╭─┈David Given┈──McQ─╮ "...electrons, nuclei and other particles are good │┈ dg@cowlark.com┈┈┈┈│ approximations to perfectly elastic spherical │┈(dg@tao-group.com)┈│ cows." --- David M.
