Hi Mark, btw, I read a piece you wrote on frames while I
investigated this matter (I had it bookmarked from some time
ago). Very good I thought. Anyway I have accidentally discovered
for myself a further "disadvantage" to frames. ie. inability to
use the set of advantages flowing from 4.01 Strict while
remaining valid!
