Hey, \relax! I said it, because it doesn't work in general because of the
dvips line breaking mechanism that is in effect when writing headers with
\special{!.

See below. Again, please don't (!) distribute this or use it in any actual
applications. I won't provide help when it fails! Again, the package is just
a proof-of-concept at the moment and even if dvips line breaking in
\special{! could be switched off, there are plenty of things to be sorted
out in the package at the moment, like catcodes etc. I have done that
already here, but didn't include that in the package anymore as I got to
understand that dvips would be a problem anyway for the package. You will
see some strange things when looking at the code. Again, that has been
sorted out, but I didn't do the effort of putting that in the package.

I'll remove it there in a day from now.
