Isaac, did you get your check from the C compiler
consortium
yet?  Mine has not shown up as it usually does on the
thirteenth
of every month.  Since our filthy lucre is delayed,
and those
meddling Haskellers are pointing out our flaws, I
think the
heat is on.  Perhaps it's time to approach Google
about getting
Python's rankings a bit higher and stop pandering to
the
C crew?

Oops!  Did this go to the Haskell list?  We are
undone!
