OK.

I'm just replying to this because I wanted to make it clear what 
I did:

I booted up a Linux VM and wrote a quick program to try to 
understand where you were coming from, taking a painstaking 
effort to try to understand you and the context of what you're 
trying to say. I didn't respond to all of the other languages 
because I was immediately confused by the result of the first 
and, additionally, trying all of the above languages would be 
fairly time consuming. My apologies for not trying all of them.

My intention was for good when I did it, so I hope that's enough 
to earn forgiveness for "picking and choosing a single one to 
give nonsensical replies to". :-\

Also, your second point wasn't missed. It simply didn't exist 
before I had started trying the C code.

TBH, I think this would be a better solution. But I'd bet it'd 
break way too much code now.
