Coding is a kind of sports to me. Besides that it is not my
decision what you do with your time.

I often recode things that are already written and
well-proofed. Sometimes my code is better, sometimes I learn
from comparing it. Sometimes it brings just new ideas to me.

So go on and do what you like; I think that's still the main
purpose of open source. Though it might not have been an
actually valuable contribution to this list I had fun
reading your solution.
