Agreed, sorry Manuel, I was too quick to forward that.

Same here, sorry Daniel and thanks for the quick answer.

Sorry, who cares? If you want that, use plain tex. Yes that is life 
even in the TeX World. You probably can process all documents even
after loads of time, but probably they need some tweaking.

As said, only because someone suggested to you to use internal
macros does not mean it is the right way.

I am closing this bug.

Best wishes

Norbert
