Beautiful. Thanks Igor. I created this report so I don't forget to add 
your code:

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3780

When I get to it I'll integrate your code and add your name to the 
authors. I wanted to add such functionality for a long time, but I 
didn't think it will be this easy. Your solution is very elegant.
