Wow, I did not know that. That is great (I guess).
I had thought the compiler option would have been a
global option, affecting all scopes.

hmmmm, but now that you mention it, I think I'd rather
have it as a global option and change () to [] when it breaks,
than put a compiler option in every piece of code I write.

I've known that they exist, but I'll have to seriously look into these
compiler options.
Perhaps a lil of the RTFM is in order.

Cheers,
bob
