It's probably a good idea for CM4, at least. I don't imagine me/us having the time or the inclination to go through and do it for 3.x. Well, with a sed script and 'for', it could be automated, but I imagine that there are some points in the code that would need actual auditing of any decision to be made. That would mandate looking at them on a case-by-case basis. Bleh. In fact, it'd probably be more of a hassle than it's worth for any moderately large code base, unless you really need to maintain the legacy stuff and don't have adequate resources to begin anew. With hobby work and code that, if it weren't for excellent maintainence by Jeremy and then you (with the assistance of a fair-sized, ever-more-rambunctuous community), probably should've been pushing up the daisies a few years ago, it's hard to see a low ratio of work to benefit from such a move. -- Daniel A.
