 But the seconds version shouldn't be used, Andrew (Lau ;) is right. It
is the first time that I see it documented anywhere, I am not sure if
WordNet is correct in that respect...

 I don't really care if it might be valid, unusable should be prefered
and is less confusing.

 Andrew, thanks for your report, I guess I'll fix it soon, if noone else
has done it already.

 So long,
Alfie
