Ha!

Although this doesn't get me any closer to my goal of
simple, useful, correct program that cannot be proven
typesafe. I don't believe the feature this function
illustrates could be useful; you have to have a handle
on black-hole before you can invoke it, so getting
it back as a return value doesn't get me anything.
But it's a nice example.
