I wonder how they'd have felt about it making phantom lines of credit instead. (Of course, with interest.)
"Oh, it's Programmer D! How's it goin', D? You want $1,000? OK! And since you don't have enough money just now, I'll just jot this down for you to pay back later."
And magically, when I deposit $5,000, it pays back a few hundred on my, er, his loan. :-)
