I don't understand what 'underhanded' should mean.
From www.dictionary.com:
un7der7hand also un7der7hand7ed (adj.)
1. Marked by or done in a deceptive, secret, or sly manner;
dishonest and sneaky. (There's more, but that's the relevant one.)
It's not really that sneaky, since we've told developers how to do this,
but it's not something your average scripter would know or be able to
find out.

No, but I did forget something. For arcane and possibly bogus reasons,
the hander will always report failure, so you have to stick it in a
"try" block and ignore the error.
