I don't. On the contrary, I think it would be harmful. It was what you said
(quoted above) that made me think _you_ wanted to have that feature.

I was just illustrating how you could use the bitmask to distinguish individual unit types where you needed to. You know like determining whether or not a unit can cross a mountain or something. :)

If you don't then I guess we're good to go. However, if nobody's waiting for the immediate implementation I'd like to hold it off for a bit, since it's one of those compatibility breakers, and they are better applied in packs (or Matthias will get mad at me ;-)). 

Oh yeah, absolutely.
