If you consider requiring a nuclear power plant to power a handheld
flashlight "awesome", then yes. ;-)

Seriously, there are better ways to hyphenate text than to use, of all
things, *javascript*. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against
*hyphenation* per se -- I'm a pretty big fan of proper typography too --
but when it comes at the cost of slowing the site down almost to the
point of unusability, then clearly we've gotten our priorities all
wrong. The primary function of the site is to provide documentation
about D, not to show off javascript's ability to hyphenate text.
