Yes please, It sounds like it will also be a terminal "cure" for a problem I have had before which has also been mentioned recently on the list, workspaces that wont open completely because a field used for labelling has been removed or renamed. It will be more efficient than trying to locate the error in large workspace files and remedying them manually.
