But quite expressive! I'm amazed at how small that code was. It reminds me
of the trademark quicksort implementation in Haskell, ie. it may not be
great in practice, but you can see the algorithm at a high level which makes
it easier to figure out what's going on.

Anyway, thanks. That was cool. =)
