I have to admit this seems to be the most sensible solution, and avoids stealing names that are more appropriate for numeric instances anyways.<div><br></div><div>-Edward<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 17, 2011 at 3:26 AM, Joachim Breitner <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:mail@joachim-breitner.de">mail@joachim-breitner.de</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
