Well, conciseness is always good. I haven't looked at (and don't have
time to look at) the code that inserts this stuff, so I'll take your
word for it that it's a big undertaking. Lord knows, I don't have time,
so I'm certainly not complaining.
But we've got a desideratum, anyway. Maybe down the road someone will
have time to look at it.
Thanks for the clarification!
