Hehe. Good point I guess :)

Ok. I thought ENH (=ENHancement?) was reserved for "officiall" patches only :)

So what happens with an ENH-prefix; is it taken as a request to include it
in the official distribution? If so, how/when/if is it handled in terms of
actually *getting* it into the official distribution (or rejecting it)? I
haven't seen much of that kind of "administrivia" on the list.

Something like Java's stream API? I've been thinking along those lines; code
shouldn't have to care wheather they're talking to a host across a network
or a file.

Ok. I was thinking it might have been another "Smalltalk thing" (I'm still
pretty new to it) :)
