That would be misleading because get_int_value() doesn't die() like a function from write-or-die.c, it BUGs instead. I don't think it makes sense to advertise the presence of assertions in a function's name. But we do have a tradition of using a prefix of "do_" with wrapped functions that have a more raw interface and do the actual work. Nit: They don't parse, but cast a void pointer to the appropriate type and dereference it. René
