Aye, but then, cheating on that kind of competition would be
akin of gulping down painkillers before going to a S&M party: the
point is missed. I trust the hard-core golfers to have enough
hubris to achew any communication beside raw, uncompromising code.
After the Tao of Perl golf, I feel that a Bushido
code of honor is in the making... :)
