</span>Dear Zdeněk,<br>
I fully agree with you. But I don't think that a test is useless<br>
only because it doesn't catch all possible errors.<br>
<br>
What I propose is to<br>
<br>
\let\uwe\proceed<br>
<br>
Zdeněk, I'm certainly much more pessimistic than you, but I think that<br>
we should allow Uwe to prove that our assumptions are wrong.<br>
<br>
The only alternative I can imagine is to do nothing.<br>
