take those risks for.
Also, isn't the OP problem already solved by the SEARCH / CYCLE grammar
handling added in 3696a600e2292?
You still get the path column in the output, which is what the OP didn't
want. But optionally eliminating the path column from the output might
be a more constrained problem to solve. We actually already discussed
this; we just need to do it somehow.
