+3/-2 seems to work pretty well.  I got that from someone's advice in a 
magazine a couple of years ago.  The full technique is to meter on your 
deepest shadow (for which you want detail), then close down 2 stops; or 
meter on your highest light (geddit? ;-)) and open up 3 stops.  I think 
that that is the right way around...
