Well, he can writhe all he wants, but the blame firmly belongs to whoever
it was thought that a completely unstable core namespace was a good thing
to have in a language. All the good names are liable to be whipped out from

polluted, the EPA would be declaring it a Superfund Site and barricading it
for the next fifteen years... :p
