Note that this idea is probably not recommended, it's something I
pulled from my bag-o'-gags to possibly give you a way to get around to
what you want.  I haven't analysed the effects of such action in any
way, and before rushing to do what I said, I'd give it some extra
careful thought if I were you.  Oh, and for the rest of you on this
list, if what I wrote is truly horrific, feel free to pounce :-).
