Ok, that makes sense! Although I now recall that the other time I had
had something similar happen (i.e. "Are you IFR"), it was departing
from Austin (class C). Oh, well...

And to confuse things more, SGR used to be Class G. It stunned me the
first time I called them up (by phone) to check on procedures when they
first opened the tower, and they told me the airspace was still Class G.
It stayed that way for a few years, and then it went to Class D.
