Well, it happens. I think my rephrasing makes it more
simple and less error-prone but the puzzle pieces were
unknown to me until I saw Mr. Mastro's code, which by
the way works instantly for me just yanking it into
~/.emacs.

As a side note, I don't understand why one cannot get
this by the use of a single variable value. I seems
like a thing one would just store in a (1) variable
and then have that configurable by the user, and
propagated down the pipe. Why should it be there three
times - out of which, once negated? If there is a good
answer, this is a serious question, if there isn't,
consider it rhetorical...

No problem, again, John Mastro is the guy who
solved it.
