Although I realize that as a programmer it would appear obvious you would be
directly interested in aspects such as the implementation of certain ideas, it
isn't obvious to me because I saw you state elsewhere that you hadn't studied
Fruit's code as you had had no time, though you eventually intended to. If you
haven't look closely at what has already been implemented and how, why the deep
interest in future implementations? After all, with the previous code, you can
see how it was done in precise detail, whereas in the future, even if told so,
you'd only know a certain concept was there, in some form or another.
