Wow. The last sentence of every point you make is worth a ++ alone. Nice post!

Perl takes that idea and makes it better.

This means that I (now) naturally name variables and structure programs so that the number / string issue, well, isn't an issue. :-)

Even if you don't understand it now, trust that we do and that you'll understand it very soon.

Well said, and ++ to you!
