OK, that makes more sense to me, and now I can see the cleverness of it. 
Took a while; thanks for being patient with me. :-)

And thanks for the pointer to your other stuff and magic set. I'm a big 
fan of those collection block operations BTW (although they came from 
Smalltalk before Ruby :-). Is that stuff under the Python license, or 
something else? I might want to put it into PataPata, and I hope to use 
the Python/Jython license for core classes, and then the GPL for any 
stand-alone applications.
