Safest in one sense (you have the most control), but not in another.  I
claimed that those who looked up `cypripareunia' would find what I
(sometimes) think of mixing C and assembly.  Spilling the beans, for
those of you without copies of `Mrs. Byrne's Dictionary of Unusual,
Obscure, and Preposterous Words', `cypripareunia' is defined as `n.
sexual intercourse with a prostitute'.  In other words, it sounds like
fun but you find it is not, and it can be downright dangerous. :-)
