I’ve been using it without problems for a couple of months. Maybe it or something like it should be in the repository. It came out of some stuff I’d written and a few suggestions by Shaun McCormick in this thread started by someone else:

[edit: for the UltimateParent functionality in the old GetField, I just use this snippet in conjunction with UltimateParent.]
