   And it can be write-only (no reading and modifying).  Which, of
course, is why we keep trying things like WinFX - so that there's some
chance that you can pick up the code I generated two years ago and
change it.  I'm just a cynic, but sometimes I think we spend more time
and effort writing code to be reusable and modifiable than if we just
rewrote it every time we needed to change it.
