This is an EXCELLENT approach. I've written some rountines that work like
this and I've been very happy with the results. I originally found this idea
within MANMAN. MANMAN has a large library of subroutines and some of them do
this kind of thing. Someday I'll get to write a lot of new code that works
this way.
