[SML] rope stop

[christopher R. pike]

My use is light loads and never overhead.  However, I'm interested in any
other solutions you might have for putting a "stopper" on a line.
Currently, we use a slip knot, but the knot is ugly and you pretty much
need to dismantle the whole setup to move the slip knot.    Any other ideas
are welcome.
