I regret the imprecision with which I spoke, but it does not 
change what seems to be the best way to fix it.  Imagine you move 
from a javascript browser to one without - very confusing to see 
the forums change names (if I understood correctly).  Sounds like 
that is what Herr Alexandrescu had in mind too with the related 
pull.
