Ugh.  I suppose every other way to handle this is actually uglier, but
it still makes me feel dirty. That being said, +1 from the peanut
gallery ("peanut gallery" +1s are of the square root of -1 variety,
but this way whenever I see that particular piece of code, I have to
blame myself or figure out a more clean way of handling it - it's an
accountability thing).
