Yep, absolutely.

Yes it does.  The problem is (and Doug’s email didn’t make this clear enough…) that default isn’t the only problem here.  There are several different keywords that cause conflicts.

In any case, I’m sorry if my response was overly strong and negative.  I didn’t intend to curtail a positive discussion!
