You STAB me to the HEART, Sir! Capitulate and start writing in C++? I'd
rather eat dirt (besides, I spent a fair amount of last year investigating
C++...can I GO now?).
Isn't ambiguity wonderful? I of course never parsed "If my choice of language"
to mean computer language. To be completely clear I should have written
"If my use of colorful language".
