- I loaded your code and it looks very nice, but I found that lines over
- 78 or 80 characters were wrapped by my mail reader (or your sender, or
- somewhere in between) so that a variable or two were named
- start-of-name\^j-end-of-name. I was able to fix it up pretty quick,
- but not all users will be able to.
-
- I've had the same problem with code I maintain, so perhaps this should
- become part of the common lore, that submitted code should be careful
- not to have long lines.
