I had in mind some refactoring in this area, which ideally would not add complexity. It might provide some nice benefits, but would introduce this behavior change, which makes it slightly more than a refactoring. It sounds like the behavior change would be desirable or at least neutral. I will have to try it out and see if the refactoring is a net improvement or turns into a mess. Regards, Jeff Davis
