Jonathan Rees just called this to my attention, see e.g. [1]. Its use
is evidently recommended by Google [2], Microsoft [3] and Django [4].
Seems like a bad idea at best to me. . . I'd like to hear from Alex
about this, as [2] seems to come from somewhere near where he sits,
and from Yehuda, since Rails does (did?) support this as well. . .
