Cool. Good to know. |

In that case, the switch to auto-detection seems like a good one to me, |
| 10 |
but now I wonder why it hasn't already been implemented. I don't know |
| 11 |
why emerge was designed with its current philosophies, or which ones |
| 12 |
affect this part of its operation, so (with my changed opinion) I think |
| 13 |
I'm gonna have to check out and let somebody who does know speculate on |
| 14 |
why it would be a good or bad idea. =) |
