Cheater. Anyhow, I think you helped to make my point and you might well
have intended to. For those that don't recognize Rick's favorite language,
it is a sophisticated and expensive language designed specifically for XML

existence demonstrates that ordinary scripting languages are really not as
easy to use for this stuff as text processing "4GLs".
