May I attempt to dissuade you from playing this game?
Do you remember how Rob fixed the forward routine_id "bug", in spite of
unanmous opposition and dismay from the list?

The lesson I drew from there is that, if RC thinks some mod is well done 
enough for his standards, and not utterly incompatible with his view of 
the language, he may support it, even if it adds a liability 
to the language. And you are able to submit such a well tested mod.
So.... the end result may not be exactly what anyone wanted.
