I'm not really sure I buy into the idea that supporters, mantling, and
so on should be protected, anyway. When the ancillary elements of your
achievement are combined with your (registered) device, the overall
achievement itself will, by definition, be unique. If we start getting
into "degrees of difference" for achievements, down that road lies
madness (just around the first bend, actually).
