Aye, dinna fash yourself laddie! *

I wasn't going for OOD or OOP, but by reducing to (almost) functional 
programming, just-about succeeded in making the whole thing declarative!


* have been saving this one for you!
Someone phoned me, not to express concern for my COVID-free welfare, but 
to ask what this phrase means. Apparently there's a new TV series which 
features Scots/Gaelic characters, and the question caused me to wonder 
if its ardent-fans are going to end-up like 'Trekkies' speaking Klingon?

For those who are also asking: it can be used somewhat humorously (as 
here) or in a dismissive fashion: do not worry yourself/it is nothing to 
worry-about/no worries mate/she'll be right/it's above your pay-grade!
