: We intend to fix this in MySQL 4.0;  The new MyISAM can already handle
: true varchars / We only have to update the upper layers in mysqld to
: use the new functionality.

Before that, if you could write a simple documentation on the source
of MySQL (or perhaps somebody can volunteer to do that) ... that would
help alot to the people who want to work for mysql but just get a headache
after seeing those hundreds of files!! (like me!) :)

I reckon MySQL is currently done in C, any chances of porting whole
code into C++? (perhaps in 4.0?)
