It is not a oneliner.  That's what I was trying to get across in my previous 
message.  If it was a oneliner, it would be checked in already.

There are hundreds of places in the code where the compiler looks for a 
standard system class and may get back NULL either because of out of memory 
or because the class doesn't exist.

It would be a waste of time to track down all of these places and try to 
distinguish between the two cases.  Only those people who use the compiler 
incorrectly will see the problem.  Anyone who does see the problem will be 
appraised of the reasons and that will be it.

I am prioritising Michael.  This is one "priority -12: user error".

Cheers,

Rhys.
