My main hesitation about reddit is that, even on the best-case subs like /r/rust, newcomer posts tends to get downvoted or ignored. Here, if a newcomer posts a basic question, many people will ignore them, but the poster doesn't know that. Someone will post a solution, or a link to one, and they

@Bob H & @Andrew R: Thank you. @Janis: It's likely that we could continue to produce extensions/refactors to each other's examples for eternity (which isn't a bad thing, I don't think this is a waste of time at all). In the case of such a `munge` in your example, yeah, following a "factor out
