Yes, I saw that.

I've been in this situation a couple of times before, and have not
pursued the "allow_modules()" option because it was simple enough to
create an external method. However, this "seemed" like a nice simple
case where allow_modules() "should" work, so I wanted to get to the
bottom of it and understand my previous problems.

>From what you say, the most useful comment I could add to the wiki
would be to quote your original response that "allow_module() does not
work with all and everything" and add my own conclusion that if
allow_module() does not work in a given case it is not worth spending
much troubleshooting time on.

I'm happy to accept your advice that allow_modules() simply won't work
in all cases - but that's the advice I wish I'd found in the wiki 24
hours ago...
