Hmm - that might be beyond me, but if you had a chance to provide some more specific details/a recipe for this, I'd love to poke it further.

For now I think I'll abandon this change - I'd hoped it'd make another change a bit tidier, but it's not a huge deal/just a rather complicated `if` condition, not worth too much work on this side.
