Aha, so _that's_ what you meant with "specific".  (I hope you too have
noticed that the word carries different meanings, depending on which
area, practical or theoretical, within computer science you're talking

I did read your post, however, I missed on the interpretation.

And no, I wasn't flaming, if that's how it came out, I'm sorry.  A
flame is _much_ more hostile.  Well,  unless the word "flame" carries
a special meaning I've misinterpreted again.  ;)
