If it goes in, can we set a date to remove it again? Or do we have to carry it around forever? If the latter is the case then I'm really not a big fan of it. If you can fix the problem up in the "project where it is a problem", then the fix would better belong there. Cheers Detlev -- The mathematician's patterns, like the painter's or the poet's, must be beautiful; the ideas, like the colours or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way. Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics. -- G. H.
