I'm not sure I understand the distinction.     Right now if a program plays
a move that violates superko it is deemed to be an illegal move.     What
is the proposal?     You either avoid playing these moves or you play them,
 right?     I know I'm missing something here because John is too smart to
not have something in mind and I have no experience as an actual go player.
