I couldn't agree more.

BTW, I have an uneasy feeling.  I do not want anyone to be mislead
into thinking that what I described is in anyway to be credited to me.
It isn't.  It's all Tom's.  I simply tried to give a reasonably
understandable account of what Tom _might_ have had in mind, from
reading the skeleton code that he put in place.  Of course, I would
very much like to take it further (or help take it further), while
better hackers take care of more urgent or more complex issues :-)
