Mut be something virtual ;-)
Alan is very good in saying 'all' with an absolute minimum of words. ;-)
A driver that has been proven to be _correct_ implies beeing successfully compiled. However, a driver that just successfully compiles does _not_ imply beeing correct (though it may).
So, nothing 'virtual', just pure logic.
