Having an expert who can spot these things at first glance is handy
;-).  Very much appreciated.

In any case, the previous iteration has been in 'next' long enough
without causing trouble for those who use a variant based on 'next'
at $DAYJOB, I presume, so my recommendation is to just let it
graduate first, and pursue your suggestion to do more things in this
scriptlet (below, omitted) as a "further improvement" on top.

Thanks.
