Although I read his remark as sarcastic after reading the entire
thread I have to say it may be a good idea to have the something in
the docs about the limitation. I never think about it anymore
because I am used to the behavior. I can see where and entity
like skype who has I am sure thousands of procedures would have this
as a constant irritant.
Do I think it should be pushed back to 8.3.x; no. It is a feature. I
don't consider the existing behavior a bug. I consider it a limitation
and we don't back patch fixes for limitations.
Sincerely,
Joshua D. Drake
