If we all always used the source, we wouldn't need books and trainers.
Where would you and I be then?

That's interesting.  I could swear I've seen people make a tradeoff before,
rather than always just implementing the fastest solution.  Nothing is
irrelevant (except resistance, if you're a Borg or a Dalek).  If we go to
UTF16 and we start needing gig footprints for tr///, is that going to be OK
with you?
