In other words, you change the *public interface* of your functions all the time? How do you not have massive breakage all the time?
I can't comment about Marko's actual use-case, but *in general* contracts are aimed at application *internal* interfaces, not so much library *public* interfaces.
Yet we keep having use-cases shown to us involving one person with one module, and another person with another module, and the interaction between the two. Which way is it? Do the contracts change frequently or not? Are they public or not? How are we supposed to understand the point of contracts if the use-cases being shown all involve bad code and/or bad coding practices? Contracts, apparently, allow people to violate versioning expectations and feel good about it. (Am I really exaggerating all that much here?) ChrisA
