        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I am aware of that solution, but like I said I think there is a cleaner, 
simpler way to do it.  Someone wrote me back privately to tell me that they 
had submitted a similar patch for this earlier, only to have it rejected (He 
has not yet gotten back to me as to why it was rejected).  Is there some other 
issue I am missing here as to why people are against this?
