+-------------------
+
+Even if this is already marked as done, I'd like to suggest an alternative
+solution:
+
+Instead of creating a file that gets checked in into the RCS, the source files
+could be left out and the output files be written as long as there is no
+physical source file (think of a virtual underlay). Something similar would be
+required to implement [[todo/alias directive]], which couldn't be easily done
+by writing to the RCS as the page's contents can change depending on which
+other pages claim it as an alias. --[[chrysn]]
