That's kind of what I figured. When I wrote it, I threw that out with a bit of a wider range blanket statement on purpose to cover anything that I may have not heard about, so nobody else could jump in and try to correct me with some kind of "one-up" answer. Looks like I wasn't able to avoid that, after all.
