Hmm -- I named *my* thing "checkappend".  appendnanny would have been
inappropriate:  the tabnanny is a merciless harpy nagging about things a
grownup should never have to worry about to begin with; i.e., a particularly
unpleasant type of nanny.  I'm afraid lots of grownups are going to have a
short-term problem with the .append change, though.  So they don't need a
nanny -- they need a tool unimaginatively named to reflect its oh-so-serious
purpose.
