Paul,
Thank you for the clarification, you are of course right that a
non-documented feature that doesn't work is not really a but, and you are
also right that there are other ways of getting what I need.
My concern was/is that something changed that caused this to appear, and
that the changed result could be an indication of something being wrong, if
not, well then I guess all is fine.
