Sounds like we are rapidly converging on Zen and the Art of Motorcycle
Maintenance: see c2.com/cgi/wiki?QualityWithoutaName, which not just
coincidentally mentions Python and then links indirectly to the
c2.com/cgi/wiki?PythonPhilosophy of Tim Peters, rapidly coming full
circle back to Beauty... ;)

In other words, this ends up a question of semantics: Quality is defined
in different ways to different people and whether you call it stability,
utility, *or* beauty, chances are you are really talking about the same
thing...
