     Given that there are so many tools out there, I would not take
such an attitude.  I *would* want to see that the person had done
something adequate.

     That is not the situation I was referring to.  I mean someone who
does know the language well, can produce, but just has not worked with
the particular tool in question.

     But we are almost always doing that.  Determining what is needed
is learning just in time.  That might entail having to dig into the
libraries some more, for example.
