in thread Schwartzian Transform

Not a bad dissection, but it probably should be pointed out that Tom Christiansen covered it in one of his FMTEYEWTK (Far More Than Everything You Ever Wanted To Know) papers, which you can find under CPAN's documentation section, and it's covered in the Perl Cookbook (Christiansen and Nathan Torkington) in section 4.15.

    In fact, the Usenet message that became the "FMTYEWTK about Sorting" was the message in which the Schwartzian Transform got its name!

    In other words, it was named after me, but not by me. I'd never do anything as vain as that. Not that I'd admit to, anyway. :)

      I believe the Usenet message in question is this one. At any rate, it's the earliest matching message Google Groups has on record.

      Between the mind which plans and the hands which build, there must be a mediator... and this mediator must be the heart.
