        You keep with the unambiguity (I remember having troubles with this
ambiguity when I was younger, and no way to disambiguate it -I was to shy to
ask for an explanation-). The ambiguity is so important that I remember that
I used to think that "h=F4te" meant only "guest". I 'discovered' the meaning
"host" very much later (in a book, I think. I spent one day to understand
the sentence!).
