Thanks. Best answer so far... (so a language
in which it was essentially impossible to do
mathematical programming would automatically
have achieved this orthogonality: no math, hence
no dot products, for a net total of zero dot
products altogether. Suddenly Perl seems much 
more orthogonal than Python, who woulda guessed?)
