#409 has a workaround

[Mark Polesky]

#409 has had a workaround for a while now - LSR #613
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=613

I guess I never noticed that it had already been in the tracker
for almost 2 years when new requests started coming in a couple
months ago. Could someone add a comment linking to the snippet?

Also, is there any interest in implementing that snippet in
the source or is the sort of thing best to remain a snippet?
