Well put. Didn't know that curl was stuck back on C89, that's really optimizing for portability. If anyone is confused by the "curl sits in the boat" section header, that's basically a Swedish idiom being translated straight to English. That rarely works, of course, and I'm sure Daniel knows this. :) The closest English analog would be "curl doesn't rock the boat", I think the two expressions are equivalent (if you sit, you don't rock the boat).
