I don't know. You're automating a case I have been handling manually 
(and hadn't been bothered by that, thus far).

You will most likely encounter some edge cases where the automation 
breaks, but it's hard to predict those in advance.

As long as they're named ones (and thus you won't miss and accidentally 
pop an unrelated one), this should work fine.
