Sorry, but had to chuckle. This is something we voted in a year and a half ago, and we found out that we cannot implement it portably and already hate it so much that we want to deprecate it. Maybe we should wait a little while longer, and then we will want to bring back UNIFIED again.

Well, not quite. If you see the first email in this chain, I mentioned that there was a misunderstanding in the WG. Some people thought that UNIFIED meant what the current standard states, and some people thought that it meant what I'm suggesting for KIND_OF_UNIFIED. So, in some sense, we voted on something not all of us wanted. Also, just so someone doesn't use my statement out-of-context, I said that we can deprecate UNIFIED, assuming that there is another model like KIND_OF_UNIFIED. Finally, I'm not in favor of deprecating UNIFIED. I just picked that as the preferred option compared to changing its semantics. -- Pavan -- Pavan Balaji http://www.mcs.anl.gov/~balaji
