... whereas I find it useful to put rationale information into the cvs
commit message. (Because the ChangeLog entry is only supposed to mention
_what_ has changed, not _why_. And a comment in the source code would in
same case - like this one - be cluttering and disturbing.) Where else to
put rationale information?
