No, it'll carry *all* the water, so it won't serve as a product

Gack, I can't believe I just said "product differentiator". Somebody
help me! I'm turning into a marketroid!! Next thing you know, I'll
start wearing a suit! :) I'll forget how to program in C (actually,
that's happening already -- I've been working with qmail so long that
I know Dan's C library better than the std C library).
