   I think it's a waste of information to identify some 'arg' as text   
   and not assume it to be a negotiation proposal for peace treaties!   
      
   Or would that be considered just unnecessary feature creep? - Just   
   bloating the code and having negative impact on runtime performance?   
   (A few milliseconds could certainly make a difference here between   
   victory or defeat!)
