Point of order!

I'm in favor of less specific definitions; other attributes can be
used to describe methods and ... whatever else is needed.

On the other hand, planning to change a definition to something more
specific at some point in the future is not good for CF. If I label
something
as heave now, it should still be heave in 20 years.

Cheers - Nan
