My point was not about that particular expression. My point was:

	I'm not advocating any specific fixes or pseudo-fixes.
	I'm advocating the notation of dependencies in the direction

When I said "The standard and maintainable way (for drivers at least)
is..." I didn't mean the example expression, I meant the *direction* in
which the example was stating dependencies.
