But you can't on many PICs so this is a problem.  And then there are PICs
that require Vdd before Vpp but can disable the MCLR function of the Vpp
pin.

I don't understand why people who clearly haven't read the programming specs
are arguing how they think things should work, when there are people who
have read the specs and have experience with this telling you how it does
work.
