You can hardly claim that "no one had issues with that". I complained
about it and I think other people did too. It's a messy, ugly approach;
moreover we have no field experience that says it's reliable.

It may be the least messy, ugly approach available, but I concur with
Neil's wish to at least look for other answers.
