We do.  They're called minor numbers.

At any rate, I don't have any good ideas, which means I shouldn't stand 
in the way of anything here.  If I get a better idea, then we can worry 
about it then.

The revised patches look basically OK, modulo the usual style complaints.

Yes, I know the original code isn't pure KNF.  Bad me.  Please keep to the 
original style, ok?  That way I don't have to march through and make 
enormous whitespace diffs just to make it readable again.  It's not hard 
to get emacs or nvi to format the code "right" automatically.

Thanks.
Mike
