Which is a good thing actually. And, if anyone is writing serious,
commercial, production code, I'd suggest you check about ten times more
stuff than that. They have to walk a line between not be too complex, but at
the same time being pretty sure to work. If they don't work under this or
that circumstance, a potential user's first reaction will be "this is a piss
poor implementation, the samples don't even work", and they might never go
beyond that.
