To be honest, one of the things I was thinking about was the fact that the "Implementations" line on this Wikipedia template has no entry for the default implementation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:PHP Which is definitely too trivial to spend much energy debating. -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
