This is really great, thanks, I'm going to use it intensively!
fortunately you read and responded to my message, otherwise this feature
would have been swallowed up and obscured in the confusion of the mailing

After I've done more testing I'll post a new message proposing to remove
the current snippet from the LSR and replace it with yours and David's
implementation.

Cheers,
