That's what I did, didn't I? I said "... so if it is feasible, please
don't use it in new code anymore". I did not say "you must not use this
in new code anymore". So where's your problem here, Markus?
Stephen, for the records, in case my mail was not clear: I'm fine if you
keep the code as it currently is. But I'd be really happy if you could
change it to avoid global_qtest.
