Hmm... very good point, from a man that "oughta" know. =:^) |

So while this one removal from @system isn't much, reducing @system over |
| 20 |
time both reduces the effective footprint of the problem, and encourages |
| 21 |
explicit dependencies in a way that both cuts down on the need for |
| 22 |
special @system treatment in the first place, and encourages further |
| 23 |
reductions to the system set. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The end result of that process sounds like something I can live with. =:^) |
