That sounds about right, Ben.  Early on, long ago, I had a dream that
Matz came over in his little painter's outfit and started to wallpaper
my house with lettuce.  But I think my dream was influenced by the fact
that when I first met Matz he was holding salad tongs.  I speak the
unimpeachable truth.

Just understand that Matz has powers beyond our realm.  And he is able
to select his followers and drive vehicles within their thoughts.

Do you think it is any coincidence that Onigurama (Ruby's new Regexp
engine) translates as "ghost car"?

Welcome to the neither regions of coding.
