I was partially joking, don't worry. However, it's probably best to write it for the third-party case in any case, because if we say "no" to inclusion in contrib, it will still work without changes. Something for the future/next time. :-) Don't forget that responses like this are partly written for the archive so that we can optimistically assume that the next person to walk this path will have either read the archives (unlikely, since hunting out a message based on it's intent is impossible) or we can supply them with a clue-bat with the relevant URL to the archives engraved on the handle.
