OK, so we need them — at least {tau} — in mekso. That hardly justifies the proliferation of them. The idea is not to eliminate them, but to reduce them to a less onerous number availabe to be set for whatever purpose is at hand. Let mre know when you have had to use more than half a dozen (or, indeed, more than {tau}). But I suppose we need to add this to the list of uses and make it the most likely one at that.
