The opinion
JOHNSON, J.
I concur in the judgment. My differences with the majority are solely at the margins of what is obviously a very scholarly opinion and in no way affect the outcome of this particular appeal. A full expression of those differences is best left for a future case where my reservations bear directly on issues determinative of the result.
