Thanks so much!  Again, I believe experimentation is the only true test.  And in any case, there's no point in writing this stuff down unless it is *implemented*.

Thanks.

If I don't hear soon from someone, I plan to put in text like that.

Absolutely!  But when a library is loaded, it's be obvious in the source code that there's a library dependency.  What worries me is silent dependencies.  I want to avoid the case where a {...}, used in a certain way, could create a quiet implementation dependency.  That's best avoided.
