I did.  Thought I was going to see a horrendous call with a table arg,
function args, etc. (leaving all the work to be done elsewhere).
Instead I saw something that scared me worse: A global hash table
(now, THAT's useful)!  I want to use hashing to speed up this little
old function here, and all I have to do is make sure it's a unique
instance of the solution...

Maybe my nonlocality gripes are petty, but geez...
