Nah, it's a common technique: you turn the original problem into a
related problem to which there is a known solution, and Bob's your
uncle.  Conservation of programmer time at the expense of plentiful CPU
cycles - of course there are cases where that's not a win, but this
doesn't appear to be one of them.

Instead, each programming paradigm adds to what worked previously,
