I checked in some code. Be warned, this code is itself a magnet. If 
you change it, it will suck you in and you will spend much more time 
there than you can ever imagine. You will have to de-magnetize 
yourself to get out. Sadly, I am not joking.

But now knowing this, I will never go back, nor come to anyone else's 
rescue.
