Oct 8, 2015 at 16:00 comment added StoneyB on hiatus @Araucaria I think they're the same thing in different uses; but the wh- words are distributed differently. "Who is concerned with efficiency is what we're trying to find out."
Oct 8, 2015 at 15:38 comment added Araucaria - Not here any more. @StoneyB I'd never thought about that. Do you find that persuasive evidence that the two are different? Actually, my view on this was the same as yoursish until you pointed that out. Now I'm musing. I think it was F.E. who held that they're definitely distinct ... Yes, I'll stick that in when I've finished a post that I'm working on on the dark side.
