Which brings us back to a thread of a few days ago :-) If somehow appears an implementation of such a stop-gap, and it is clean in the sense that it doesn't break anything and is easily maintainable, and it solves a real need - I would be in favour of accepting such an implementation. Of course, I would never consider doing it myself, for the reasons you've mentioned. Regards, Martin
