I think what Guy was saying was that he didn't see any need to do it,
regardless of the mechanism used.

Perhaps if we could see an actual example of where this is needed we
could discuss this better. I know there was some talk a while back of
some code that handled (I think) archives or somesuch. Could be see
the code for this so we could think about it.

Thanks
