    The best I could do in that situation is parse the preps myself in each
    'get/take' situation and pass if appropriate.  Ugly, and not at all
    easy for people to subsequently add on to, since they have to remember to
    pass in certain situations.

    In retrospect I would not have made $thing a child of $container solely
    for this reason, until something like Quinn mentions came out.
