Well, I would think that whether or not we think it's possible, if there
were/is a way to have such a language, I think most of us would want
to make such a thing, or at least consider it (except for those of us who
strive for ultranaturalness, which in itself would be kinda selfcontradic=
tory,
as natural change is anything _but_ planned. :) ). But I agree with you
that there is no reason why anyboyd should mind about such a thing.
