Umm,    eh?

What whole new feature/patchset am I *requiring*?
[hint: there is none :-)]
The subsequent discussion was just discussion of approaching the
problem differently that could have a more general use.
I never argued it was a requirement.

If people are ok with that test, then it "works for me".
I just wanted confirmation.
[Joel did reply it was ok with him, modulo seeing if there was a way
to improve it,
but he was the only one to offer an opinion on the test itself.
It could be changed a bit I think, but I'm not sure it would remove
the cheezyness factor, to me anyway.]
