I am just returning to this now.  Your tacit solution is far superior to my 
original attempt, even by such a crude metric as
character count.  I need to study it in more detail, but I must say I 
appreciate how you walked through it on that page.

One improvement I might suggest to the page, is that you adopt Roger's 
convention of collecting your definitions at the end (e.g
[1]).  This will help the impatient (like me!) get immediate gratification, and 
also serves to present your solution in its full
glory.  Also, I suggest you adopt the general Wiki convention of allowing 
comments on your pages, or at least of having a
centralized "RE comments" page linked to from your home page.  But generally, I 
dislike "immutable pages" on the Wiki (which is
intended to be collaborative).

Would you object if I may presented your tacit solution, or an adaptation of 
your solution, on RC?   One drawback is that on RC (and
wikis in general), contributions are not attributed, so I couldn't give you 
credit.  But if you prefer to retain credit, I'm happy
to link directly to the URL above (provided you grant me edit permission on 
that page, so I could make minor or aesthetic
modifications).
