Thanks all, at least I didn't overlook something obvious. I'm not surprised that someone's thought of this kind of thing, and, under any circumstances there *has* to be a more elegant way than the hack I used <G>....
I'm always reluctant to raise a JIRA on a project before I know I haven't overlooked something.. and in this case there already is one.... I'll keep an eye on 742. If I get really crazy I might even see if I can make a patch. In which case I'll no doubt bother folks on the dev list to get more guidance.
