I also still respectfully disagree with Gregory:  As pointed
out by others, English majors are not the target audience
here:  It's the programmers who will be using this.  And I
expect Stan's "real world" test would be confirmed in a
majority of cases....

Actually, I liked Jeff's response the best..    :-)

And now I apologize for giving in to temptation and beating
on this one last time;  I'm done....
