That isn't always possible.
Hash tables were considered "clever" 20 years ago; Perl and Lisp were
the first to build them into the language. Floating point code is
almost always "clever". I generally give a reference to Goldman and
cite the appropriate section. Anything involving computational geometry
qualifies as clever, but there normally is no better choice. A
particular O() complexity may be required.
