I think if there is one thing we know about
computer programmers, it is that they are not
careful readers of documentation. Anything
that requires careful reading is guaranteed to
be confusing. To be useful, I think software
should match expectations, not closely parsed
documentation.

I vote for a separate object class.

Cheers,

David
