Why? Problems are hardly solved by adding more parameters. If going to a larger number space means, that we have to add crappy interfaces, we should rather keep it as it is. Why do you need to partition the number space like this? I looked at the users in the last mail for a reason. If we're going to change the interface, it should reflect what we will need in the future.
bye, Roman
