Sometimes these keyword names, by the way, are chosen
to *expressly* avoid problems with keyword inheritance
chains. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to learn that
something like this turned XLOG into X_LOG.

I'd look into it, but I am still recovering from
something I picked up in Africa and I don't need
any more troubles. :-)
