A good technical solution to *what*? That's the point I am making. The 
name alone is a perfect technical solution to the problem Guido raised 
in the first place.

I am sorry, my post was not intended to be disrespectful. But I stand by

In particular, you need to state what problem you are trying to solve. 
It is not enough to just say "this isn't enough".
