No, of course not.  I didn't mention anything about "read it with
a bit of intelligence", and I suppose I should have.

No kidding.

You can do it, today, and no one else needs to have newlist do something
they don't want?  I don't *want* another option to newlist, and I 
don't want turds in /tmp.  This way, we're both happy.
