Blame it all on Maurice Wilkes who came up with this whole notion
of indirection in the first place (if my ancient memory of this is
correct). Dr. Wilkes once said, "There is no problem in computer
programming that cannot be solved by yet one more level of indirection."
Ever since then, we have been solving problems via indirection (pointers).
Who was it that replied to Dr. Wilkes with, "The is no problem in computer
programming that cannot be made more complicated by yet one more level
of indirection." ????? Perhaps it is time to revert to the good old
days of Fortran and COBOL where everything was direct.
I hope the humor of this is not lost on some reader. I do not need to
be up to my neck in flames -- errrrrr, pointers to flames.
