I was thinking of something like a variable name, (eg. foo_close was misspellt as foo_klose) then someone might be greping for "close" functions and miss it. Or if the documentation for the foo card talked about the "Dunlap Enable" feature, and it was misspellt "Donlap" in the code or comments, it'd be nice to be fixed. But the lose/loose one is a stretch, I think. Cheers, Rusty. -- Anyone who quotes me in their sig is an idiot. -- Rusty Russell.
