It's apparently a roundabout way of saying that I'm a knucklehead!  Sorry,
Philip -- I clearly wasn't thinking fully through this.  My general concern
remains, of course, that it seems weird (to me) for a switch to be treated
as a local mod in that it can have some affect on the results of a copy
operation.  But we obviously have precedent for supporting committed copies
of deeply switched things, so perhaps this isn't the best use of our time
right now.
