I may have visited Rome only to build a mead hall, but I'm building it with
concrete, arches and marble columns.  ;-)

The way you described is quite practical, but not nearly as fun.  If I was just
concerned with making things work, it would do very well.

It just doesn't fall into the "neat hack" category.  My first concept and first
attempts at runmain didn't add anything to "if __name__..."; I just wanted to
see if I could do it, and learn a little bit about Python in the process.  I
still want to see if I can do it, and learn something about Python; my target
is a bit bigger, is all.
