Apparently we've already discussed this problem (typical ;-)) - please see
the following archival thread and its follow-ups:

http://mizar.uwb.edu.pl/forum/archive/0609/msg00001.html

But I'm affraid no satisfying solution was offered then, and the library
and the system haven't changed yet to support the proposed "future"
solutions...
