yes, I am so suggesting. it would probably best located as part of a

giving significant fictional uses of wood in this context. Of course,
it would also fit in an article on Holly, under a similar subheading.
Wikipedia is in general in need of considerable expansion in this
area. somtime a jok is the best way to suggest it to over-serious
people.
