I agree with virtually everything u said, but _maybe_ u missed my=20 point:-)) If Hans either implements a) >2-char swutch support; or b) \sizea(b)(c) etc, it affects whether the high-level framework will need to use capital 2-char switches or have the option of using unrestricted lower-case=20 switches in whatever framework we agree on. Your point is on the framework being=20 _mentioned_, mine was on the language _used_ to mention the framework (perhaps I shoul= d=20 have made that clearer). The logic of the framework used should be largely=20 independent, but the language we use to mention it partly depends on the internal=20 implementation. I look forward to our final consensus!
