Sven. In one field you're rigorously but in something like this you're
liberal (braking/dangerous change / for existing code base).

It does *not* break existing code at all.

It will break future code. What if I need math someday and add this to the uses clause ? Which one will be called ?

I have to admit though that I forgot about the potential problems due to
refactoring. I'll change the name to avoid this pitfall, though I've yet
to decide which one.

OK,

Marc
