Yes, and I'm concerned that allowing it in one location may bring about a 
self fulfilling cause.  ie.. it will become a common error if it works in 
some places, but not others, while it's really not that common at the 
present time.

On the plus side.. having it in only one module, and only one place, 
probably won't be "that" bad or even that noticeable.  But maybe it can be 
a motivating factor for not doing similar things in other places.

Cheers,
