Thank you Bruce. That is good to know. Maybe the invisibility has led me 
astray. I'll shut up now and see if I can actually get Enums and some 
other good stuff done by this time next year. With any luck I won't be 
quite as derailed as I was last cycle.

Also, I hope it's now clear at least that there are many people who want 
to see recursive queries.
