There are some things I don't want to be remembered for Paul.

Being responsible for introducing the cycle to a new generation is one of
them.

I was one of those who wanted it removed from the RPG IV design. It
survived mostly because the logic for the cycle was already present in the
code for the SAA compiler that we were using as the base.
