actually this patch needs some work (as it's a 20 minute hack on code 
i've never seen before).

i seem to be really unlucky in getting my intention across. by accident 
i started a thread about: a) bad coding style /and/ b) BC breakage when 
all i ever wanted was c)  to make the colons for bound variables 
optional...

guys, can we please get back to the subject? this list reminds me of 
driving a _too_ old and broken car: "one hour of driving, 2 hours of 
fixing" - if it was "one hour of coding, 4 hours of 
documenting/testing/qa/discussing the right way.." it would be fine by 
me but right now it seems more like "1 hour of work, 3 hours of 
comparing dick-sizes with the SmarterGuys(tm)". that is screwed up!
