   It /is/ great. It handles enough that you can implement first order   
   predicate logic and no-one can handle first order predicate logic, they   
   only feel like they can but they screw it up all the time then they sit   
   in the pub with other people who can't handle it and they all agree how   
   good they each are, forgetting they can't handle it.   
      
   The biggest problem is that it's easy to express complicated things with   
   list decomposition but then the execution strategy is depth-first   
   instead of ID :/   
      
   I think it was all a trick.
