Is there room for improvement ?
Um... Does anybody else find it interesting that we are "showing the
beauty of Haskell" by attempting to construct the most terse,
cryptic, unmaintainable tangle of point-free code that the combined
mindpower of the entire mailing list can produce?
To a certain geek mindset, that *is* the power and beauty.
(Then again, that's the mindset that publishes incomprehensible JAPHs
in their .signature files.)
