Perhaps I wasn't clear. I didn't suggest that you use any old thing, I suggested you use Code rules. You're not _bound_ (by anything other than common sense) to use Code rules because you're using these as temporary closures which won't carry a stamp. Or maybe I guessed wrong about what you needed the closures for.

I also didn't suggest you were a cowboy, unless you'd use your temporary blind flanges for cribbing or try to leave them in place permanently. Temporary stuff sometimes takes on a life of its own, and it's a good idea to keep track of it carefully so it doesn't end up in the wrong hands. You probably ought to get a copy of the current Code anyway.
