While I agree that both passages supply a working vector to 'intarea-tunnels',
the two strike very different tones. The former gives a balanced citation, while
the latter calls it a "corner case" - twice!

Whether we like it or not, fragmentation and encapsulation will continue to
be associated with each other no matter what gets documented here. So,
a respectful handoff to 'intarea-tunnels' would be appreciated.
