Hi Walter,

It's very interesting to observe how different people view certain things...

>You certainly made me thinking. An IDE where you can set and view properties off chunks of code. Let's imagine you're able to turn on/turn off comments. This would improve readability of code as normally for tracking bugs etc, you can turn it off, and if you want to investigate what a method or procedure does, turn it on.

It is especially when I am debugging that *I* want to have the comments available. I find they help me to learn the intent of the code and then I can examine the code to see if it indeed does that job. They are also sometimes helpful (to me) in more readily distinguishing if some certain condition has been overlooked.

In this design I guess I would simply run with comments "ON" all the time < s >.

cheers
