Thanks for that last comment, it actually prooves our point ;) |

Yes, SLOTs are *generally* numeric strings, as they are generally tied |
| 11 |
to major versions. But as soon as more than the major part of the |
| 12 |
version is important ints don't work anymore (and never ever mention |
| 13 |
float again, version numbers aren't floats), and in some cases you find |
| 14 |
non-version data in SLOT (like $CTARGET). |

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be |
| 22 |
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better. |
