This is just an ingenious way of bringing retribution on programmers 
that do not write copious explanatory comments, and have a penchant for 
deviously clever implementations.  But I suspect RR could be the same if 
you hide enough snippets of code under enough objects scattered here and 
there.  And regexps are brilliant but hardly for human consumption in 
either language, yet I defy anyone to come up with a better way.

I think the rule in perl is "just because you can do it that way doesn't 
mean it should be done that way.  Eschew obfuscation!"
