I agree.  I only disagree that misusing _q_exports is any better a
solution.  If I disagree with some violence, it's because it seems a
much greater misuse of _q_exports than either of the others, as witness
the fact that it is the only case in which you have to change quixote's
existing behavior in order to get it to work.

Uhm, you *did* read more of the "+1 with bells on" message than you
quoted, right?  You seem to be ignoring the substance of that, so I'm
wondering if you overlooked it or if you just don't want to discuss any
solution other than kluging _q_exports.
