We're supposed to make it *LOOK* that way, yes, but, hey, deep
down many of us aren't driven by *application needs* in tinkering
with tools.  At least, I know I am not, and I've known many other
geeks who feel the same.  The tools are the FUN part -- pity we
have to justify the tools' existence by looking for problems
they will help solving!-)
