I think the last two comments are kinda lame because the first one supplies
too much information. My variant didn't come with angle brackets, I'll add
them before I get coffee.
After coffee I'll send the Python cartoon my group at work even though our
main product is kernel level C code, but Perl, Python, and bash are used
for toolsmithing and support.
