That once might have been true, but I am living proof that the solar-constant
has changed because I routinely come across code that I clearly created but
which I:
        don't understand what it does,
 and/or
        don't understand why it does what it does,
 and/or
        don't remember creating.

(There should be an option to this shell script (that I wrote) to do Glurp.
Oh!  It already is there, and the usage message tells me so, if I would just
look at it.)

Today's obvious is tomorrow's obscure.
