Bernd pointed out that my solution to his puzzler broke down if " had
a catcode of \active... this was due to me misreading the question,
naughtly me...  Anyway, the `correcter' solution is:

      \expandafter\Swap\expandafter{\the\catcode`\"}
         {\catcode`\"=\active\Swap}
         {\def"#1#2{\catcode`\"#1\def"{#2}}\catcode`\"=12 "}"

Have a nice day y'all...

Alan.
