This is a valid question, it doesn't deserve vote of 1.

I agree. I voted 5, because such thing is very good to know.
Only... I recently answered this question; isn't it a re-post?

I used one of those references. I don't want to disavow my own answer (unless it is proven wrong), so have to vote 5 here, too. This is good-to-know stuff.
