Well done, and well documented.

On a more pedantic note, I'd just like to preemptively remind everyone that a quantum leap is a very small jump, rather than a large one. :-) Seriously though, this is good stuff. ++ can't possibly cover it.

    A quantum leap is a transition from one discrete state to another (i.e., without intermediate stages.) I consider this is a fine and good metaphor for a dramatic, sudden change.

    I'll emphasize: the relevancy has nothing to do with the magnitude of the change, but to the change's seeming bypass of intermediate stages.

    and yay demerphq! This is a great improvement for the monastery.
