My gosh, functions and triggers in Python?!!?  OK, Albert, score one for
you!  :^)  Thanks for bringing that on our radar.

I'd like to emphasize that Albert's idea has merit.  We'd like to learn
more about the idea, as we don't know as much as we should about it. 
But someone needs to make it easier for us -- unfortunately, it's just
reality that we don't have as much time to investigate possibilities as
we would like.
