think in terms of multi-way collaboration: you need to do work, other people
need to do work, the code under development needs to work.

the guidelines (based on 20+ years of experience of working with software
libre) balance all those three things.

yyep.  to be expected.  clifford's bperm code is equally massive.

you might want to try running these:

* proc
* opt
* show top

and if you *really* want to put your computer into meltdown, run "synth"
followed by "show top".

just from a few lines of python, eh?  shows how careful you have to be
when working in H(igh) D(efinition) L(anguage)s.
