I'm trying not to make any judgmental statements one way or another in the document. I don't think it's appropriate there. Rather, I'm trying to describe the current behavior. How well I'm succeeding at this is open to debate, I guess. > > There are numerous issues with memory policies and I think we are still > waiting for a solution that addresses these issues in a consistent way and > improves the overall cleanness of the implementation. I think we need to get the in incremental steps. And, I think phrases like "consistent way" and "improves overall cleanness" are very subjective. Exchanges will be more constructive if folks could stop asserting their own opinions as undisputed fact. E.g., see: http://www.generalsemantics.org/about/about-gs2.htm especially the "Some Formulations..." section or: http://www.generalsemantics.org/about/13-common.htm Anyway, I'm about to post V3.
