Out of curiosity, what "undocumented assumptions" and games with GDTs would you be talking about? I don't think I play any games. I do some clever things to cut down on the number of GDTs I grab (well they're clever in my opinion :-) but I don't think I do anything "illegal". Could you be a bit more specific?
