That's true. Sometimes, however, a hackish method is best.

Maybe it's just my general "OO only where it's needed" philosophy showing
itself: I'd rather read the raw file contents and work with that, than inherit a
Tango file class, redefining methods to handle whatever file format I'm dealing
with --- this, I suppose, is what would be the proper "less hackish" method in
this case.
