IMO well worth the time to try it.

Alex Tweedly regularly comes up with non-obvious but highly effective 
solutions.  His inventiveness has made many helpful contributions to 
algorithms explored on this list.

My only disappointment with his latest contribution is that it wasn't a 
three-liner as he usually comes up with.

Alex, you're slipping. :)
