Coke, Andy, et.al.,

I appreciate the quick feedback.  It's really not a problem, either way. I did
the thing _thinking_ it was a good idea -- without discussing it on #parrot, I
might add. That doesn't mean it was! :)

And, fwiw, I probably have a fairly legalistic way of looking at copyright
assertions, yada, yada. That is, more paperwork-shuffle, than functional and 
legally operative.  

Thanks.

P.S. I'm very comfortable throwing it away.
