 OK, that's more of what I had in mind. Truth be told, this is the first time 
we've run into this, and as a result I'll make the change to that import 
statement today.

 We've taken the attitude that when a bug/shortcoming is pointed out, we 
address it. But one problem with that is when you only have a handful of 
people actively using and testing it, you limit your potential for 
discovering problems. If nothing else, this thread has helped by pointing out 
one such shortcoming.  ;-)
