That's the problem with a vague spec.  I didn't mean to ask for a description 
of how this might be done, but a discussion of the likelihood it would.

To use your example, where 5 declares spam, why is the configuration likely to 
set STRICT to 4 rather than 10 or 100, given the semantics of Strict?
