That's the best solution.

The doc thing is absolutely necessary. Maybe then I won't have to ask too many
stupid questions on here, which should be answered by a simple search in an

greatest moves. Would have saved me months if it had been this way a year ago.

Even if it's code of over 10kB ?

I only reported misunderstood features, sorry.
