  Hey everyone, I could not find any describtion about "benign" and "rtl" pragmas.

  maybe the enduser is not supposed to know/use these pragmas but since im using the ropen module and i see these there; and also i want to bulid my own ropes module, it would be nice to know what these pragmas actually do.

  Thanks for help.

  i would love to see a blog post about your journey with ropes: they seemed to hold promise and held sway in the core for a long time. i dimly remember that some benchmark changed your mind about them, would you think it worthwhile to write up that experience?
