You have a shootFoot function which you've proven correct. QuickCheck  
validates it for arbitrary you-like values. It will be evaluated only  
when you end up at the hospital. You hope this doesn't come to pass,  
as it actually returns a bullet-ridden copy of yourself and you don't  
want to be garbage-collected.

or

foreign import ccall "shootparts.h shootfoot" shoot_foot :: Gun ->  
Programmer -> IO ()
