I can't believe how timely this is! I had JUST started staring at this date and begun thinking about how i was going to deal with this, when this thread popped up.
@Paul i think your answer is tres elegant. Thanks. @Steve your solution looks elegant too, but I just KNOW what would happen in my case - i'd miss off a close bracket or something. I know it would happen because i have little invisible gremlins sitting on my shoulder that wait for me to code lines like that and fire a spark or something at my keyboard so it misses off keystrokes.
