Oh, no apology needed. I'm not offended at all, just very amused
:-)
I _am_ proud of that piece of work, though. It was my first
contribution to D, and of all the pieces code I've ever written
it's one of the few that I think still unambiguously feels like
it provided lasting value. And I think your engagement with me,
and help in clarifying the right things to do (together with
others here on this forum) was very important both in terms of
what I learned from it and also in helping me believe that I was
genuinely capable of making worthwhile contributions to
high-quality software projects.
So thanks for that. In retrospect it really feels like an
important turning-point for me career-wise :-)
