At compile time - yes.

At runtime - no. However, I didn't manage, yet, to do extensive runtime
checks of all affected areas. That's ongoing work.

No, I think 1.34 would do, too. As said, a previous incarnation of the
CWS compiles fine with 1.34, but again, I didn't do extensive runtime
checks with this version.

Ah, okay, will put this onto my TODO list (unless you volunteer, of
course :) ).

Thanks & Ciao
