Not at all! I'm afraid my vector calculus is really rather rusty (haven't had much use
for it since college except for finding complexities of algorithms), so I've only been
half-understanding the discussion, and I haven't joined in at all. But it's certainly
very interesting, even to this not-particularly-mathematically-literate reader. :) In
fact, I'd been wondering about the algorithm behind diffing two files, so that bit was
particularly interesting to me. So, keep going! and we all will learn something.
