I blush.  That'll teach me to read my Florilegium before asking idle
questions.  Thanks, Stefan, and also Adamantius for the original answer.
(I'm a bit behind in digests...)

Has it occurred to anyone that what we really need is Adamantius on CD-ROM
for these arbitrary questions, which will free him up for the really
interesting discussions? :)

In service,
