Argh.  It looks unfinished.  It's asymmetrical, and not in a beautiful
way.

It's shorter than the Ruby example, but it makes my eyes bleed.  An
episode of The Apprentice is shorter than The Maltese Falcon, too, but
it's a hell of a lot uglier.

. . . at least, for my taste.

When I want short code, I write it in Perl.
