Now that I've looked at the datasheet again, I remember why I didn't use the 723's I had for a supply project; the line and load voltage regulation specifications are excellent, but the current limiting function over temperature is very poor. One could do better using a resistor.
So, I'm not going to waste either of our time by pursuing that approach any longer.
The LM317 approach is about as inexpensive, reliable and simple as one could ask for. One IC, and one resistor (or a couple, if you can't find the exact one you need).
