To become more than an experiment, it has to be *reliable*. And that is going to be tough. Something that only works 99% of the time is annoying, like, ummm, file encoding autodetection that sometimes fails. You have to be able to get this right: main () { double d; int i; char c; } This particular example can of course be done. But how about 100%? Martin
