Hm, I see. I'm not quite sure that's the best way to achieve a generic
result, but I see your point.

Well, I'd agree with making the code more generic if another user

Sorry, I forgot to update lguest. I'll do that and repost (but I won't

Are you otherwise happy with the patch in its current form? And are you
happy with the lazymode changes?
