Just looking for the most elegant solution to my problem- nothing quirky intended.
Except that I am consciously here, as elsewhere, sacrificing some measure of performance in the interest of my own sense of elegance. I guess one could argue that scarificing performance for an application where performance *is* an issue cannot be elegant.  Depends what one is after, I guess.

Are there people out there with a more developed sense of elegance in programming than I have been able to develop?  No question.

But it ain't like I am inheriting from float to redefine =, or anything ;)

Or throwing properties aropund willy nilly.
