That was very enlightening.

Syntax is always the part that I get hung up on. If I can't parse something
at a look I tend to ignore it until it becomes absolutely necessary. They
call this "Laziness", which is a chronic affliction for me.

As a simple user (by no means am I compiling anything), I still have trouble
figuring out how to configure things so I just put up with it. I'll have to look
more into how to weave the magic you demonstrated above. =D
