LA is me. :-)

Nice to see two Haskell programs in top.  But I don't have great
hopes for my program in the finals, because that input was very
different (which I suspected it would be, but there are so many
ways to make it different that I just didn't bother trying).

BTW, I spent about as much time writing the parser&printer
as on the optimizer itself.
