    Me learning something new: Read #1: WTF? #2: Huh? #3: Hmmmm. #4: OMG! #5: This is so simple. #6: Well, I _thought_ I understood this. #7: GOTO #1. It's the best thing about programming; there's always more to learn.

    DRYing out 'concepts' exposes sameness and enables reuse; DRYing 'incidental duplication' lies about sameness and impedes change.
