I'm not denying it is (or at least was) widespread, but widespread adoption does not make it a "best practice".

It forces exception processing when there is no justification for doing so. >it would be a mini-Y2K to eliminate all usage of it. I would have hoped Y2K processes *would* have eliminated all usage of it !! >Furthermore, if you don't want any wars about how lousy RPG is now that it's >just a clone of C, then don't start one.
