Thanks for the reply Guido, I'm glad to see it fits in with the
'executive decision' I was about to make on these modules anyway. 8^)

calltips doesn't use it, but calltips does have a comment indicating
that it is based on the same code. I also think it could be handy
sometime for other purposes, so I might just add a comment to the module
to that effect and leave it in with the other source at this stage.
