Thanks Mojca,
I'll send it to you privately.
I've rewritten the wiki entry related to figure specifying that the
use of low level command is just a workaround.

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who
doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this
guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.
