huh?

These bugs always take me no less than 2 hours to find, unless I am
specifically looking for fall-through bugs.

They are that evil kind of bug where you can stare at the exact lines of
code that cause it and remain completely clueless until the epiphany
hits.  This is no good, unless the compiler can be rewritten to induce
epiphanies.
