Yes, that's one alternative. The other alternative is to put refint 
above the accesslog, as Frank has already done. In the latter case you 
replicate the refint ops explicitly, in the other you don't. But the 
current behavior, where refint executes the whole stack regardless of 
its position in the stack, is definitely not desired.
