That way lies EVEN MORE madness. I don't have any guarantee that it won't be changed at some point, and... I mean, silly though it sounds to talk about "defined" or "undefined" when working on pseudo, it's *really* not okay for non-implementation code to be defining a symbol starting with a capital E like that. I am not sure why the attr people hate compatibility with existing code, but probably because they're monsters who are motivated only by a desire to crush the hopes and dreams of others. That's usually why people make backwards-incompatible header changes. -s
