OK Glynn thanks for the kindness, but IIRC stil does not mean a lot to me. Can anybdy be a little more friendly to non experts or at least explain that it is only some kind of programmer's stuff.

By the way I copied the "AFAICT" from a recent mail (did't invent it by myself).

It isn't programmer specific; it's just abbreviations for common

All of these are basically just ways of saying that you aren't
absolutely certain about what follows.
