Exactly.
I was of the opinion, as some familiar with the subject matter, that
this rose to the level of deserving special consideration. I'm glad
that there does seem to be a general recognition that such a category
exists. Given the reservations of Robert and others, this isn't going
to happen for 9.4. It was never going to happen under a cloud of
controversy. I only broached the idea.
Special consideration is not something I ask for lightly. I must admit
that it's hard to see things as I do if you aren't as familiar with
the problem. I happen to think that this is the wrong decision, but
I'll leave it at that.
I'm sure that whatever we come up with for 9.5 will be a lot better
than what I have here, because it will probably be generalized to
other important cases.
