I /especially/ hate the way that the ten million ways to do it mean
that you can never ever just look at someone else's code and easily
see what they're doing -- again, unless you actually are Larry Wall
-- because they inevitably chose a way you've never seen before and
which doesn't actually make any sense at all just looking at it.
