Hi Derek,

Ok, I understand your desire to make things "consistent", I'm just not sure
it's more important than keeping things *simple*, like they were; maybe it
is, I dunno.

But your second suggestion, having  two functions like create(), one that
allows user specified styles to be used *in place of defaults*,  and the
other just using the default flags (& presumably allowing *addition* of user
styles with the default?), seems to me to be a very good idea, I'm glad you
thought of it.

I'd vote to do that, but I'd suggest that you retain the use of "create" for
your "default only" one, and use "createSt" or "createStyled" for the "user
styles predominate" one, just to make typing easier.

Dan
