Thanks for the help, Will. Yes, yes, I should have been fix this already. The
first "if" of your code is pretty much the same that I have in the old branch
of my working code already ;) The second is a nice and probably often needed
enhancement.
I'm just about to add the "unname" behaviour to the new branch of the code.
