David, Andrew (et al),

Can someone point to me where the RC site says we have to solve
each task in some *specific* way?  I simply can't find anything
that says that.  The fact the the categories have certain titles
doesn't say that to me - it simply says that they've titled
the category using some short phrase identifying the functionality
they think the task illustrates.  It may simply represent a
'cultural bias' on how the author(s) *think* it will have to be
solved given their programming background.  Without something
clearly spelling out implementation constraints, I'd prefer to
view it that way.

Even the RC intro page refers to RC as a "programming chrestomathy"
site with a link to Wikipedia defining that term as demonstrating
differences in syntax, semantics, and *idioms* [emphasis mine].

I worry that we're presenting Unicon/Icon poorly if we don't
illustrate how the language helps solve a particular problem cleanly
and clearly.
