Ummm...  I'm not screaming anything, Gary.  The intent of my message is
just to let the authors of this code know that it is *not* equal in
functionality to what was removed.  As I said in my original message, it
would be nice to see that functionality restored.

It may very well be that the authors are aware of this, and just don't
give a damn.  I prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt.
