Guys, guys. I don't even think I made that proposal, I'm pretty sure it 
has been discussed before around this newsgroup.

Anyway, I think Chad's proposal has not been discussed here before being 
implemented, which makes it more difficult to accept. On the other hand, 
the fact that Chad implemented a change to switch means that he has a 
good understanding of the implementation, meaning he could adjust his 
patch to implement whichever design we all agree is suitable.
