   Yep, the somebody was the technical specs writer along with the summer   
   intern programmer who dreamed up this functionality and sold it to the   
   documentation team.  Then the development team had to implement all the   
   features according to spec.  Still, out of millions of Paradox installs,   
   only one currently uses these flags.  (Okay, I made that up, but it sounded   
   good.)
