Since posting the above some weeks back, I've been informed that "Von
Neumann architecture computer" is maybe not the best jargon to be spreading
around.  Source:  https://vimeo.com/145672920  about 4:55 into it.

I've watched quite a few of these Eric Smith vimeos.  I've learned a lot.

Given I'm flying the lambda calculus banner on Mathfuture, trail-blazing a
new track, it behooves me to catch up on what that means in more detail, Y
combinator and all that. ;-D
