You call that a failing, and others call that a feature. I love the fact that I haven't had to think about ridiculous nit-pick level data-structure trade offs.

You call that a failing, and others call that a feature. I love the fact that I haven't had to think about ridiculous nit-pick level data-structure trade offs.
