Lightly; this arose because both rackunit and sxml provide 'foldts' (which, honestly, neither one should probably provide, but...). I used the "except-out" on sxml, first, and got killed.  I moved it over to 'rackunit' and it worked fine.

Have I tried moving sxml into a collection? No. Frankly, I feel like I've spent enough time compiling today already :). But you're right, that would be the next thing to test, especially since I have every reason to believe that sxml provides a *lot* more names.

Thanks!
