Thomas, always as insightful. Thanks for this one, that's a small
gem :-)

Usually I do. But it's a burden, and sometimes you just see something
strange in one of the hundreds of packages you use and you just need
some confirmation before you file a bug report. That's why I'm
infinitely thankful for open lists (and for people taking this extra
burden). I try to pay back as well as I can in kind.

thanks, and may your day be nicer than mine :)
