Ahem! I guess I promised to post a message showing how I solved this
problem, so one will be forthcoming in a microyear or so, now that Random
0.7 is done.

Funny you should say that, I have done exactly that for my own objects.
Offered to submit them for inclusion, but they won't make it into 1.0.3.
Slated for 1.0.4. However, I'll make the necessary adjustments to the 1.0.3
objects and post them somewhere in the mean time so those of you who don't
mind playing with fire can get immediate satisfaction!

Cheers,
Sven

PS to Glen: is the Java stuff a ways off, or is all this pretty useless
work at this point?
