Dear Dan,

Yours is a nice solution to this problem. 

I had thought that I should have waited for Greg to ask to take into account Pavel's 
series, change some lines of his code (because they are the only users of the new 
version of the helper function, that is my work - as suggested by Greg himself), 
rebase and resend, I really think that your idea is better.

I'll do as you suggest ASAP, within the end of the day (now I have to go).

Thanks very much.

Fabio
