| incidentally, I wonder why we don't see so many anti-FORMAT rants as
| we do anti-LOOP rants?  If LOOP is hard to read, what is FORMAT?

  It is because loop is actually _too_ easy to read and does unexpected
  things for those who do not understand that it is a formal language.  In
  contrast to this, format is pure magic and not understood by the whiners.
