Will/Jeff, you're right that it's an option, but it's not a very appetizing option.  We certainly could add an include or subroutine at the top of every program (does anyone care about the performance difference between the two anymore?  That used to be a big deal :-).  Less concern with how to do that, and more with the broader impact, as well as blowing the minds of our change control group.  It's hard to prove there won't be *any* possible breakage from such a lot of recompiles.

Let's call that plan b...

Can I assume you're not excited about inserting some logging code into each program simply do to the number of pieces to edit?  We have done this programatically with all paragraphs and I image the same approach would be possible with programs.
