I thought these, or equivalent technology, had been around for a while,
perhaps under other names from other vendors?  Those could have been
grey market devices, though.  Are these the ones with a new-cell voltage
of about 1.7V, thus giving all us 5V-logic types something new to worry
about (4 AA cells now being uncomfortably above the 5.5V max operating
voltage of most things, even with the canonical dropping diode.)
