What distinguishes an internal from an external property? Everything except links to backends would be "internal". We've used a much more restrictive definition so far than that---basically known-broken or debugging-only---and I think it's more appropriate. > BTW, we probably should teach -help to hide these options by default. Please, no obscuring of functionality. Debugging-only functionality definitely belongs in -help. Paolo
