Aha!  Somebody is actually *thinking* rather than having a
conservative reflex.  Yes, boys and girls, this is exactly how I
planned to solve the I-want-to-be-able-to-grep-it problem.

Giacomo hasn't resolved the larger question of whether my distributed-
attribution proposal is a good idea or not.  What he *has* done is
demonstrated that the resistance to it is mostly rationalized rather
than rational.  Otherwise somebody else would have seen this a lot
sooner.
