Now this is day-dreaming, no such re-uniting is possible of course. I
won't go into tedious culturological details now.

But re-iterating, *as long the standard language version gets clean
standard code (in this case, it would be bel:), I personally wouldn't
mind.*

I don't see how such non-major exception would hurt, given this
particular situation. The starting-up of our project from incubator
was made in a bit of a rush, some info was lost in the transfer. Small
correction then would be in order?

Not that we aren't grateful of course for that cutting the Gordian tie
in the first place!
