Thank you. I understand the "should" issue - a side effect of there being MTOWTDI. I was just hoping that someone knows of a cleaner way to achieve this without intercepting the import process and fishing out the desired values. Of the many ways to do it, I was hoping that one would be more readable and obvious to the next guy that has to maintain my code.

I would prefer clearer, more obvious code over a cryptic incantation with a paragraph of explanatory prose.
