Tim!  I see what you've been doing on your vacation.  Dang you, getting
Mr. Bones out there before I can refactor Rabal. I love the name.

I'm sure Tim and I will have several conversations :-).  We do happen to
frequent the same coffee shop on an exteremely regular basis. 

Oh, and Ben, look for a refactoring of Rabal in the coming months.  I
have a couple more ideas I need to work with.
