Well, I can't feel too good about this since I have an extra hole tucked
under my sleeve. Also, the fact that I ended up at the bottom of the pack
isn't helping my ego either. The truth is that I tried the first day to get
a working solution using regexps, but couldn't. So, I fell back to splittin'
'n' pushin' 'n' poppin' until I got a working solution. After that, I knew
that a regexp solution is needed, but didn't have the time or energy to find
one.

Anyway, enough excuses. To give `/ his fair chance, I hereby throw the
gauntlet, and volunteer to be a ref in the next TPR (unless someone really,
really objects :)

By the way, thanks to the refs. Excellent hole. When I first saw it, I
thought that it would be a 30-40 char solution. I thought to myself, surely
someone like japhy or abigail must've beaten this problem to death. Boy, was
I wrong!
