Because I was doing folding the last patch adds a new type (const_sclar i believe, i'm becoming senile), which doesn't support define'd constants, etc. Normal functionality remains untouched. I personally think that's a reasonable 90%, and its nice to also have a compile time constant. -Sterling -- "C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg." - Bjarne Stroustrup
