You're going to write something in the spec that defines the behavior. Somebody's eventually going to write tests for the behavior. And the particular behavior that you specify might rule out some approaches to implementation in preference for other approaches. So before we reimplement an+b, we actually want to ensure this sort of thing is stable, so that somebody bringing it up later doesn't force us to do a rewrite of the entire thing again. -David -- 𝄞 L.
