and someone else said they weren't sure what to make of this. Well, my
reactions were:

1. Laugh!
2. Wonder if he'd been using pypasax_
   (one of my favourite "it's so silly it must
   be useful" projects).
3. Print it out for future reference...
   (I like the simplicity of his element naming)

Of which (1) was the most important - thank you, Gerhard.
