Linus, I'm ok with this not working out. Really. Trying to do something difficult and new _often_ ends up in the result being too complicated and ugly to live.
But that doesn't mean I'm not going to try, and if it's an idea I think has potential I'll keep trying because it often takes a couple attempts and a couple rewrites.
Anyways, I've been listening to your feedback (and honestly pretty appreciative of it, it beats the hell out of what I was getting on the list). I'm sorry if you feel like I wasn't listening or taking into account _everything_ you had to say, this is a problem I've been thinking about for quite some time and I've got a number of constraints I'm trying to fit.
And I apologize, it looks like I did miss something - I went back and reread and saw you also had pretty_fn() in your example. So sorry for skipping past that, my bad.
