Jerry, the whole reason I posted was that I had hoped people would
not be able to resist :-) !

I fooled with my program a while, and got it to run faster than the
"let Icon do the work" approach, but let me point out that the speed
difference is less than 5% in most instances, and never more than 10%.

If anyone wants what I came up with, I'll gladly send it out.  I don't
really see any reason why anyone should want it, though, when there is
a three-line equivalent that does pretty much the same thing (and uses
less memory to boot).
