Doug,

<Started this hours ago, but got side-tracked>

I tend to agree with what you said, in your prior post.  It's not hard to
get around the issue, as you said.

Now I don't know, for certain, if the debugger can return the value of a
function:  eval x = user_written_function(y).  If it doesn't, then I s'pose
it would be consistent to not allow setting of a built-in.

But I agree with Joe, this is yet another example of a trend that's been
going on...  That's what is more troublesome, to me anyway.
