Right you are. Thanks for holding me to correct terminology. I should have
said the "C" APIs, I guess.

Ah, yes. So it's a very good thing that you'll be fixing the bugs that will
let us use these two functions instead of the workarounds.
Which leads to this question: If I want to write code that will work on Mac
OS 10.2 and 10.2.1, but that will work optimally under a newer version of
the system, will there be some way we can know when to switch between the
workaround code and the fixed code? I guess that's a not-so-subtle request
for non-public information about future releases, so let me re-phrase it: I
hope you will provide the information necessary for this purpose, such as
mentioning (in the release notes, or whatever) that the fix is in whatever
major or interim system release it's in.
