I didn't see mention of that in the actual problem statement and wonder
how languages w/o a 'break' handle it. When I get a chance I'll look
through other languages solutions to see how closely the "specific task
in a specific way" is really adhered to. It grates on my nerves to have
to give an awkward solution when a cleaner one that takes better
advantage of the language exists (as awkward solutions give others a
poor impression of the language)!

No kidding!
