Where would be a good place to document this issue so that this potential
different behavior is more explicitly discussed?  I'm contemplating a new IL
factory which would transport all Principals except those enumerated by a
constraint, and it sounds like I might be able to get what I need by using a
slightly different implementation which might fit into the existing code and be
driven by an additional constraint.
