  Yes, yes and yes.

  I know. how it _does_ work, GSR. That's why I am posting.
  My idea was, that it would be more intuitive to handle, if it
  _would_ work _differently (that was the reason for my post).
  I wanted to be _changed_.

  Also agreed. It works the way I dont like since hundred of years.
  Time for a change.

  This would give the behaviour only a different name.
  This is like calling an error a feature just to make it not an error...

  And if the code become too old to be changed...than it is...just too old.

  Sorry, it does not convince me.

  "How long is that ladder, Pa?"

			   "It is one meter, my son!"

  "...and how long is the other ladder, Pa?"

			   "It is also a meter long, my son...why do you ask?"

  "...but Pa....they are of difference length....???!"

			   "Yes, I know....it was that way, since the beginning of
			   time, my son...and it is because the one is made from
			   wood, and the other is made from aluminum!"

  The son wents away....his head shaking....
