More than just time, Walter has shown in the past that he 
appreciates safety and safe practises. For instance, I respect 
his decision about the limitations of version(), even though it 
seems limiting to me. Trusting human refactoring to the detriment 
of a tool seems, comparatively, insane, and cowboy programming, 
with no trade-off benefit :-)
