Don't worry, that comment wasn't meant as a reproach.  Just an 
expression of surprise at the number of times I've been asked about it. 
  Most of these queries have been offlist though, so it's not surprising 
that you didn't see them.

to be shared.  Unfortunately there's no good solution for it beyond what 
you've done.

Sure sure, the coverage wasn't in-depth, just a note that the function 
exists and here's how to call it.  I'd expect it to need a little 
clarification...
