The way I read your "add one" Ciaran's example went off the mark, but then my read didn't work too well either, so if you could fill in the concrete numbers you had in mind, it will hopefully clarify things. (Add one /where/, to which segment of the version?) Being as concrete in the examples as possible helps. It might seem to go on needlessly, but when the alternative is not being sure what you were talking about and thus possibly going off on a tangent... To Ciaran's credit, he's at least using concrete version numbers/strings in his examples, so there's no mistaking what he had in mind. Unfortunately, without this concreteness I think it's just going to be yet another argument in a circle, and I think/hope everybody's agreed there have been enough of those on this subject already. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
