Well, sure. Obviously if it comes from *God* it makes sense that it's an 
exception. Where JHVH commanded his followers to commit genocide, 
obviously they were justified in doing so. Or if someone says "thou 
shalt not suffer a witch to live," I guess that would override the "thou 
shalt not kill" bit.

But then, that would seem pretty absolute too. I guess some would argue 
you *should* kill the witch, some would argue you *shouldn't* kill the 
witch, so yah, OK, I guess there's some other context there. :-)

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
