Actually Nick, you are doing pretty well today. You have
solved the halting problem (by determining that aliasing
analysis is equivalent to Fortran's anti-aliasing rules).
You have shown that productivity is independent of the
number of lines of code, and that furthermore it is just
as easy to debug a long low level program as a short high
level one, and consequently as a corollory completely
debunked the notion that high level features are useful
in programming languages :-)
