This mini-flame war serves to point out what an ambiguous term "bug" is: There are design bugs, implementation bugs, and documentation bugs. And perhaps philosophy bugs. Translated, the discussion so far goes: "This is a design bug!" ... "No, this is no implementation bug" ... "Yes, it IS a design bug!!". Maybe we should all take more care to point out what we mean when we cry bug? - Harald
