Yes… What would be the non-ugly-hackish-sort-of-way?

Ew… =)

Yes, we probably shouldn’t be encouraging ugly-hackish-sort-of code. That being 
said, there’s no beautiful-elegant-sort-of way of doing this kind of thing, so 
here we are.

Well, maybe if we collectively build the non-ugly-hackish-sort-of solution, 
that behaviour will change [for the better] as a side effect.
