Yes; however, I have to admit that I had lost track of the fact that
$uhat already has the t1 and t2 infos, which was the original issue here.
OK, now I understand. Jack's "limitset()" idea might be cool but IMO
it's not a priority since smpl does the job OK. (Also, I'm not
totally enthusiastic about having m->t1 and m->t2 user-settable: one
more thing to worry about being possibly wrong!)
