Ok, thanks a lot for the clarifications.  At least I understand the
problem a bit better now.  But I'm going to light up a candle to the
coding gods so that someone finds a cleaner long-term solution.  This
really should *not* be that hard, we should not have to tiptoe around
toxic cross-module interactions like this, knowing all these details.

Oh well, I'll crawl back into my hole.

Thanks again for the info, it does truly help.

Cheers,
