(Almost) Purely Functional JAPH

Hello all,

here is my first modest attempt at a JAPH. Please note the purely functional style (appart from the necessary side-effect of outputting something ;-) ).

Those who'll recognize the mechanism will probably have a smile in reminescence of that powerful and inefficient way of computing.

If there is some interest I will post an article on the theory behind this (unless it's been done here before).

Please enjoy, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
