Now, do I *write down a recipe*?!? Oh no, that would be too much work, so much more work than bad chestnuts the next winter.</p>

<p>Today I spent 20m figuring out why adding error-checking to an error-free program had caused an error to occur without fail. Turns out if you don&#39;t wrap the handler of an exception-handler in a lambda, it evaluates right away. I&#39;ve only used this construct for *checks watch* 28 years. AMA about PL.</p>
