I love this snippet and have actually been using it for a while now… before it's posting here!

I first heard about it when Michael Trier mentioned it, saying that Magus suggested it in the IRC.

Thanks Magus, great timesaver.

Ah, that's perfect! Much more elegant than my method... which is too embarrassing to mention here.
