yep, that's what I figured it had to mean. however, I tried it and it
didn't work. This is probably because I messed up where the user was
defined or something, but the whole thing took so long even to try out
that I gave up. Are we the only ones who find it counter-intuitive?!
or at the very least, downright unpleasant... perhaps it's just
ZClasses. It usually is :) I gave up and did it in a product eventually.
