It’s a bit late to reply (sorry, Ian!), but the reason it took me so
long, is that I wanted to understand the rationale for the ‘if’, and the
implications of dropping it (which I never got around to, as you can
see.  ;-))

Mark: what’s your take on this?  I’m especially concerned with
undesirable side effects in user code.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
