Fair enough, although I don't think it's bad to show more general/
efficient/flexible solutions after the simple quick & dirty ones have
been shown, as in this thread. My solution is just a step further from
Paul Hankin's, not a direct response to the OP.

Hehe.. I remember seeing a similar one for Java and "Hello world"
using more and more elaborate abstractions and design patterns but I
can't find the link.
