Yeah right ;-)
Seriously though, it's an explicit user action, so why restrict it at all?
OK, I can see the case for making it unrestricted. But I'm not
goint to do that for 1.6.0 because it might break some things.
BTW, I've fixed the frequency plot business for discrete
variables in CVS.
Also, IIRC you guys agreed to mark discrete variable in the main
list
(Icon, or 'd', or whatever). Is that still on?
Probably after 1.6.0.
