IIRC it was Dimitre who asked, and Mike gave a characteristically thoughtful answer, but no reliable principle has emerged. I think we'll be using our aesthetic sense -- what looks right, assessing clarity and concision in the usual way -- until we have enough experience to derive some rules of thumb. In any case it's going to be fun to see what kind of programming styles emerge in 2.0. Cheers, Wendell
