	I've got my Kritische Studienausgabe right here, and there's a ton of
references to Kant, but is there hope of finding "Kant kantet" in Nietzsche, or
is that just a excised note from Heidegger?

Beyond Good and Evil opens with the line "Supposing truth is a woman -- what
then?"  Derrida's _Eperons_ is, of course, a meditation on this and other
'related' remarks of Niezsche.
