Counter-counter-... Sure I'll take a look. Sounds pretty cool. I'd like
to restate, however, that I don't think we should start with this kind of
fancy-footwork.
We need to start with the basics and we need to keep things simple and
understandable. I get the sense that the perl dev community has more than
its share of efficiency experts. That's a good thing but there's a proper
time to optimize and this is not it.
We're doing a rewrite, aren't we?
