From the keyboard of ske@pkmab.se (Kristoffer Eriksson):
:That's fairly simple, if you add a level of indirection. "Any problem can
:be solved by adding another level of indirection."

Untrue: you cannot solve the problem of too many levels of indirection
that way, which while apparently a pathological case, may in fact apply
to this one, since indirection usually costs access time.
