It's worth distinguishing between a few different things "several implementations" can mean: - Multiple modules, each doing different things, using the interface - Multiple modules doing the same thing, all using the interface - Multiple programs implementing the interface that can use the modules. If Måns means the first of these, my understanding is that that would be considerably less significant than the latter. -- Jeremy Hankins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint: 748F 4D16 538E 75D6 8333 9E10 D212 B5ED 37D0 0A03
