Except that I am consciously here, as elsewhere, sacrificing some measure of performance in the interest of my own sense of elegance. I guess one could argue that scarificing performance for an application where performance *is* an issue cannot be elegant. Depends what one is after, I guess. Are there people out there with a more developed sense of elegance in programming than I have been able to develop? No question. But it ain't like I am inheriting from float to redefine =, or anything ;) Or throwing properties aropund willy nilly.
