Yoicks. Maybe I'd better put in a compile-time check for default suppression!

Ugh. That's nasty. Can you imagine a change in the spec language that
would make this unnecessary?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may
be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons
than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may
sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those
who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they
do so with the approval of their consciences.
