I don't know whether or not Walter _was_ actually insinuating that but
it's a pretty good idea ;)  the only disadvantage of course being that
I have to copy the //once at the top part into every file that wants
to use the SomeFeature version, though that probably
wouldn't/shouldn't be a big issue in practice.
