I agree wholeheartedly... The point I tried to make earlier, was that it seems that
by giveing seperate part numbers to the part, TLG is leaveing open the possibility
in the future to release a part that is in two SEPARATE colors.  So, my question
is, how does one choose any color he wants if only the aggregate part is
available.  Thats why I think we should have two files...

BUT, having said that, we would definitely want to have a shortcut, just like we
have a shortcut for minifigs.

BUT, this is just my 2 sense, and I am a poor comentator on this topic, because i
am really unlikely to use this piece in a model any time soon.
