This is what I thought. I'll have to give it a go. I just didn't want to start
patching up something that might actually be fundamentally broken if you see
what I mean.

I've not actually seen any code for doing any of this. I've seen lots of
discussions, but nothing that actually has the nitty gritty in it. I can't
believe it's still so cutting edge that no-one will talk about it in detail...

It's providing extra ones essentially, on the outsides of bends.
