IIRC, Amir once said that Junior extends even more aggressively than DB.
Unfortunately, he didn't get any quantitative evidence or examples.

It's also difficult to know how much knowledge Hiarcs has, unless you happen to
be its author.  Sometimes I feel like I know more about DB than I do about the
commercials.  Rebel excepted, of course, thanks to Ed's participation here...
which is much appreciated.
