Thanks for the review Joe.  I think this is a good question, and might 
be sufficient justification for me to get that help on the stats helper 
functions that Jeremy offered in the last version.  I suspect that I am 
doing way too much one-off work in copying the stats from the driver  
and should instead be making use of the helpers.
