Please, Ted! Let's not throw down that gauntlet. :-) There isn't a language
anywhere in which it is the least bit hard to write bad code.

Maybe we should start a thread here: "Betcha Can't Figure Out What This One
Does!!!" Write a subprogram in 100 semicolons or less that is totally
compilable, produces correct results, but its up to the readers to figure
out what it does. The winner earns the title "Ada Geek Of The Year."

The only problem is that most of us here just aren't interested in that sort
of problem - we'd rather figure out how to make code as clear as an
unmuddied lake.
