in reply to To thank or not to thank?

I find an update to the original question to be ideal, e.g.

How can I frobnicate the furlitzer with Perl 6?

Update: thanks to everyone, the solution by Furlitzmonk is what I ended up using because it was the most globulicious

that way, future readers are immediately pointed towards a solution to the problem and the answering monk gets the praise/thanks he deserves/expects, all without increasing the danger of node-id-space running out before 2037 ;-)


All dogma is stupid.

    As I wrote in reply to Sidhekin's comment, which also was along the same lines: the nice point about this is that it is already possible. It's KISS and on a second thought it's probably also the most efficient solution as far as future references are concerned, which is the point you brought about. So I'm not insisting, but... should the hypothetical mechanism be put in place, it wouldn't be mutually exclusive with the modus operandi you suggest.
