Just for everyone's info, I invited Len to join this list.  Am I a glutton
for punishment or what? :)

Well, have I got a treat for you :)  I'm about to launch a question writing
contest (hopefully, this evening, if I can get something that looks like 303
objectives up) and I'll probably be scheduling an Item Review Meeting in
Mississauga.  You are welcome to come.

That's exactly my point.  If the question was just:

        bless $ref, 'Hi';

I would have said it was a 'ls -l' question.  '-r' is a nice option but I
wouldn't categorise it as an essential one.  However, now that tac(1) is out
of the objectives, I don't know what people will do ;)
