- Ah, yes, but I was disputing whether you had solved the puzzle! :-)
- I would certainly agree that the question is purely academic.
- To be fair, however, I think that the puzzle should include at least
- the following rules: any solution must
- - work for any strictly conforming program;
- - allow separate compilation;
- - not cause memory leaks.
- Unfortunately including these conditions makes the puzzle unsolveable, IMHO :-(.
