Not at all. And the code is terrible, too. There's a generic with a formal
discrete type that makes assumptions about the actual type that are totally
unjustified. The identifiers are cryptic and meaningless, often with a '1'
tacked on the end for mo apparent reason. I could go on, but the reason I didn't
comment before was because I didn't want to spend hours commenting on the
problems I encountered looking at part of a single pkg.
