Oh! *I* didn't want something displayed instead of a listing; I just wanted to be able to dynamically change the explanation. It didn't sink in exactly what it was you were implementing.

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.
