You are confused. You don't seem to be able to distinguish 
between indifference and lack of knowledge. I'm not here to 
analyze the finer points of you wrapper thingy that no one will 
ever use.

We need a consensus, not one person to convince Walter or Andrei. 
The more people that get on board with this, the more likely it 
is to actually get fixed. You don't have ZERO control over it, 
you have one vote.

The more that people try and hack their way around this problem, 
instead of speaking up about it, the less likely it is to get 
fixed.
