Quoting Rainer Weikusat (rweikusat@???):

I honestly don't understand the hostility, Rainier: It seems like
anything I say you interpret as bad faith, where I was merely expressing
a preference for specifics and distrusting abstract discussion of
'purposes' in a discussion of software mechanics. If I've erred, you
are certainly welcome to explain where. And, if I failed to comprehend and
do justice to your thoughts, which is quite possible, I apologise: I'm
entirely too fallible, and often caffeine-deficient.

Other that to stress those things, and express my regret for my own
failings and for this having not been a better sub-thread, I see no
point in continuing discussion. Perhaps some other, future discussion
will go better.
