Hi Mark,

There is one case of this in JFreeChart, in the AbstractDataset class.  
I didn't write the code, and I'd have to go and study it to figure out 
what it does...most likely I wrote the Mauve test while trying to 
understand the mechanism in general.  I'm out of time for today, but can 
probably look at this in the morning...

Regards,

Dave
