Arrg!

This is what, the 3rd or 4th time I've sent something to this list
that was meant to go to some other development list. I am just
programmed to type this address without thinking.

I suppose you're all just lucky that it's a very dry question about
programming technique and not something juicy and secret... or perhaps
you'd like that better...

in any case, sorry about the noise and I'll try sending this to a
better list now...
