My guess is that it helps Andrew push a "todo" item out of his head into the source code, so that he has one less thing bugging him and can get on with something else. Just like it drives me nuts when a file is missing a copyright notice, and I can't do anything else until I get the copyright notice fixed. Everybody's got different things in their "I gotta clean this up because it bugs me too much" property list. Just my guess. Actually it's rude of me to guess about Andrew's motives! Michael C
