No one does, which is why it was changed in the slightly fudged way it
was to minimise the overall effect instead of to fix the probalem
outright.

The following improves things without any obvious side effect, maybe ---
I only just noticed the !incond thing at the last minute, which would
otherwise have screwed up completion in conditions which might have
taken a while to notice.  Note I've remvoed some unnecessary parentheses
just as a very small concession to clartiy.

I don't understand the SEPER / ins handling except to the limited extent
I've noted in previous tortuous and frustrated comments.  Any problems
with this?  Anyone any idea how to add a test for it?
