That's great, but not a patch on the power of COMEFROM!

Or, to put it another way:

1
2 readability   COMEFROM 4
3 that's        COMEFROM 6
4 hurt          COMEFROM 7
5 to            COMEFROM 10
6 but           COMEFROM 2
7 might         COMEFROM 9
8 nothing       COMEFROM 3
9 goto          COMEFROM 12
10 compared     COMEFROM 8
11 comefrom     COMEFROM 5
12 using        COMEFROM 1
