Well, I think I've been guilty more than once of leaning on Tom to try
to get him to accept patches that he might've been inclined to reject.I think that my standards for code quality are
similarto Tom's 
(though sometimes I let through things he would have caught, woops)
but I think I am more inclined to commit feature changes that he might
not find entirely worthwhile.  Like Tom, I'm reasonably wary of random
knickknacks that are extremely special-purpose or will slow down
common cases, but on the average I think I'm slightly more
new-feature-positive than he is.  Not without some exceptions, of
course.
