True, but to me "challenging" somebody's need to do something
implies that you've got some sort of right or authority to
require them to justify what they want to do.  I've probably
inferred more than I should.  I'm a bit touchy on the subject
now that the Python "int" is going to go away and break some of
my admittedly sloppy code.
