That's a thought; I thought there might be a way of doing something like this, but I couldn't think of one or dig one up. It's still not a perfect solution for a few reasons, but I'll look into doing it that way, and see whether it works well enough for my purposes.

Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
