Sounds reasonable.  Do we have something like tests (or at least a list
of recipes to try) so we can catch regressions?  It seems this part of
the code is trying to satisfy needs which aren't clearly expressed
anywhere, so while this suggestion may sound good to me (just like the
patch I just sent), I'm afraid it will bring back other problems.
