- You can't see why it shouldn't either. Can you imagine how big the RKMs
- would have to be if they told you everything you shouldn't do? If it
- involves code you didn't write or structures you don't own and there's
- no documentation stating that you _can_ do it, assume you can't. Your
- code will live longer and prosper for it.
