My thoughts exactly, Kyrah. If we teach that it's bad practice to be used in other languages, what could be redeeming about using it in LSL? I understand the whole "dynamicism" aspect in terms of writing code that can change depending on where it's loaded from, but I can also think of more negatives than positives if this function were ever to come to fruition. It encourages dangerous practices and lazy coding. --Hawkster Westmoreland 21:42, 9 July 2011 (PDT)
