Thanks (and let me use this opportunity to express sincere admiration
and gratitude for your general bug slaying performance and stamina).

If that really improves the substance of this bug report only Drew can
say I guess.

I for one still think that a more detailed explanation similar to
Michael's from a previous mail[1] would be helpful, ideally with more
examples.

And although I have managed to clarify a few points myself thanks to
this conversation, my personal conundrum[2] remains unanswered: why does
a simple advice have no effect on the interactive spec of the function
being advised, and is that really a feature? But perhaps that's for
another thread.
