    Um, *LOL*, okay, you're trumped.  Not REALLY, but virtually.  We'll work
    on a module that provides this (pretty simple with the code we already
    have)...
    
    The issue in MY mind is not IF, but WHERE this assurance should be
    provided.  I think it has great value; I also am doubtful if it has
    universal value.  If a product can "prove" simple assurance if a stacked
    module is pre-loaded, isn't that valuable?
    
    Barring, of course, community discovery that the module provides no such
    thing, in which case modification of the module would move farther in that
    direction.
