That's what I am having issue with. I don't see the case where such guarantee is useful. If you're not using the return value, why do you care if it's always null or sometimes null and sometimes baloney sandwich? If you need always null, you have it: null. You don't need to use return value of a function for it. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
