fair enough, but it does seem to me it's being parsed twice - once to 
make sure it's ok as an entity and once again when it's substituted. no 
doubt this appeals to neatness, but it does seem excessive, and perhaps 
restrictive. but that debate has no doubt been had and i don't want to 
open it again.
