Yes it is a great description of the actual function, however I feel the
word is a bit obscure and that's why I hesitate about using it. That's
what the "not sure" is...Obvert technically means the right thing, but
perhaps isn't obvious to many NQC users. I'm tempted, though.
I just know if I use it, I'll have to add "Is 'obvert' a real word?" to
the NQC FAQ!
