Then you'd need range dependencies. |

No-one's ever implemented it, or knows how it works, or knows what |
18 |
exactly it's supposed to do. The only advantage ABI_SLOT has is that we |
19 |
don't know what its limitations are, other than that it doesn't |
20 |
solve any new problems (although it might slightly simplify certain |
21 |
specific cases, maybe). |
