Juergen, I want to thank you for this fine work. I will incorporate it into V3.

I want to try to convince you that, even though you disagree with our
decision on the v3 design, it is worth your time to go ahead and use a
design that is not exactly what you wish to see.

I note this comment:

You are, of course, free to do whatever you wish with V3; it's GPL.
But bear in mind that V3 is a common effort, and that for each and
every one of us, we can find some piece of V3 that we think ought to
be done differently. A common effort involves compromise. We have a
lot of contributors, and we can't afford a fork for each one. Many
people, me included, have accepted different ideas on different areas
of the code. No project of this type can succeed, absent this type of
compromise.

In view of your talent and willingness to contribute code, I would
hope that you could join us. I realize that the way we are doing the
.S is not what you wish to see. I am hoping that you will join us
anyway.

Thanks again for the CAR code!

ron
