O.k. I am not trying to start an argument here but... I already sent 6
revisions of this patch that received comments and had thorough review
via Alvaro. I even took into account Tom's original comments from the
previous thread.

This much effort on something so simple makes it not worth the effort in
the first place.

Bruce with respect the only useful thing I have seen you do to the patch
in all this wrangling is realign the \? General options and frankly even
that is suspect in my opinion. Can we either throw it away and say,
"Nice try JD" or just commit the thing.
