You know, I was privately called on this and I was wrong.  Eric, I'm
sorry and I shouldn't have said this.  At this point on the CPAN, it
really doesn't matter what goes out there.  I really *do* like this
hack and who am I to say what namespace it should be in?

So my apologies for taking such a negative view.  I'm sorry if I gave
offense.

Cheers,
Ovid
