Hey nafterburner,

Thanks for your feedback! Don't worry, I also usually write long mails!

I am transferring this mail to the developer's mailing list, and
especially to Guido. I indeed think that it would be best to change
the word "capacity" to "possibility". In Latin languages, such as
Italian and French, capacity can be used in this sense, but in English
the main meaning is different, cf
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacity

Guido, what do you think about changing this word?
