[0]From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@time.cdrom.com> [0]In former times we used the GENERIC keyword to do stuff like this, but [0]that was clearly gross. Stefan and I have tossed the idea around and [0]come up with the keyword FAILSAFE as a reasonable proposal. It sounds a bit like "Safe Mode" in Windows '95 but more intimidating. It is certainly more descriptive than GENERIC. It would be nice to avoid the use of the negative-sounding "FAIL" if possible...
