But that's not a B/C *break*, because users are explicitly instructed not to write functions beginning with double underscores unless they want magic functionality, and since this is *new* magic functionality *no*correctly-constructed code will contain a function named "__debugInfo()". Any old code which does contain such a function is already explicitly standards-defying, and so does not deserve any B/C maintenance. That's the whole point in reserving the whole namespace of double-underscore-prefixed functions for future magic behaviour. The fact that with this function developers can write *new*weird/broken/counter-intuitive code like you write is certainly valid. But it's not a B/C issue. --G
