ah, but how would divorce always know how to best
separate the list? i suggest the marry function takes
an optional second argument, "prenuptual"

this way when marriage is made with a prenuptual,
the divorce goes much more smoothly.
of course, if marry() never expects to be followed
with a divorce() there is little need for the prenup.
