Really it's just a matter of knowing what's a rule and can't be 
changed, what's not a rule and can be changed, and what's in between. :-)

You may need to fiddle with your tools a little bit to get them to 
ignore that problem, however.

After you're done ignoring it, how you deal with it may depend on

That Can't Be Changed, and "more what you'd call Guidelines", as the 
pirate captain described the Pirate Code.
