The 'week' was used as a figure of speech, not to imply it's the value of
your system, I thought you'd understand that. The months of work or
number-crunching don't add to the value of a Go program more than an
ordinary pattern-matcher would if you can't show your system would provide
anything extra, and as far as I'm concerned you haven't shown that still.
Show it, and I'll have to concede you're right. Don't just *say* it's so,
prove it.
