As the astute and wary have undoubtedly already noticed,
"nixtlapachonotihuetzi" does not have a double auxiliary.
  (Note, however, that it *does* have two of the verbs
   which act as matrix verbs in "auxiliary" constructions.)  |8-)

Y'all can only imagine my horror this morning when I re-read
what I had sent last night.  I hope that my carelessness hasn't
caused anyone to run out this morning and invest in stock in a
double-auxiliary dot.com company...
