I agree with that assessment.

Then, Tim and I tried to understand the failure and how to get it fixed or
worked around.  We (at least I) could not figured out properly what Martin 
was trying to achieve.  Mainly, there were mismatch between arguments and
parameters -- at least, that is what the compiler was reporting (I know, it is
a bug, but I would love to understand what your code is doing and why the
compiler is failing).
