If ANS is pile of crap as you say, then making QUIT correctly
functional for ANS and also using "ambiquifiers" to correctly implement
ANS is just you wasting time polishing a turd.  Therefore, you have no
cause to rant about ANS being a turd since you've already proclaimed
ANS to be crap.  Please top wasting your time and ours on ANS if you
don't like ANS.
