i did not find information about this in the faq. the faq is much better 
then it used to be, but i did not find that it addressed this particular 
problem.

there is always the chance that even a complete implementation still 
would not be accepted. therefore it seems wise to get an acceptence of 
the idea, before making a complete implementation.
not to mention the very good argument that the idea might become better 
if it is discussed before implementation.

what are the benefits of arguing and implementing in a vacuum? (to the 
person arguing and implemention that is. i can see that there are 
benefits for those that do not want to discuss, explain nor accept a change)

i am trying to achieve a better shootout by making it slightly less very 
narrow of focus. if all i wanted to do was erlang (and scheme) programs 
i already have a bench system that does the things i want.
