Actually, I do have this dark-side urge, but, don't tell anyone, as I try to
keep it under wraps in the group... it's unseemly and unPythonic.  When I
just can't resist sharing a (so-called) "neat hack", I try to remember to
add
"but of course it would be silly to do it this way in the real world"
(because
it WOULD be silly: "do the simplest thing that can possibly work" is a much
better golden rule in programming than "look, ma, no hands!"...:-).
