} We want something to be displayed instead of a listing.
Oh! *I* didn't want something displayed instead of a listing; I just

Given that, it all makes *much* more sense to me.

That wasn't my intention; I was just trying to find out why you chose the
implementation you did, but starting from a misunderstanding of what it
was accomplishing. Sorry.
