Thanks for sharing, and good to this is working well for you.
I'm still unlikely to have the chance to test this anywhere soon, but
maybe more folks can give it a try now that we've had one successful

to hear.

Since you're the first person brave enough to try (or at least report
about it), you shall have the honor of naming it :)
