No joke you forget. SystemDictionary deals with lot more than that.
You forgot changeset, sounds, namespace, ....ok I stop this is not fun 
at all.

Come on alex this is what roel called Solution-Oriented.
No need for design, just make it work. Solution-Oriented this is the 
future: no XP, no test, no process, no design, just the solution. Go 
for Solution-Oriented Programming.

We should really propose a serious workshop on Solution-Oriented 
Programming.

PS: You should have told us what Utilities pointOrNilFrom: '2,6' does 
exactly.
Because this is obscure to me.
