feature-identical, even if that was gloriously irrelevant to the
concerns of the antecedent thread.  (This is the Internet:  Drift
happens.)

Yes, and I'm aware of the awesome display of edge-case theatre that
followed.

Now, I'd appreciate being able to chuckle and say thank you.  Is that
all right with you?

...to edge-case obsessives.  Welcome to the chorus.  Now, I hope you
have other concerns with anyone but me, as I am now bored and want my
