thanks to you both, yes, that is indeed what I was looking for.  About 
expensiveness: I just did some test and my main process goes from 1.2 
seconds to 1.2 seconds and generates about 100 of these throw-away 
nodes, so for the not too demanding environments, the performance hit is 
negliciable (?word?)
