I agree with you about the need to make policy decisions, which is why I
wasn't asking for an option to be added or for the change to be
reverted.  Saying when the change was made and how to revert it is
enough for me -- if it becomes important to someone, the knowledge is
out there waiting for a Google search.

Thanks, Werner, for the code extract.  I appreciate it.  :)
