Glad I could be of use !

Understanding the Power of Yield was a great step forwards for me, afterwards I was horrified to reread some old code that was riddled with horrible classes like DoubleItemIterator and IteratorFilter that my C++-addled brain had cooked up, and realized half my classes were useless and the rest could have there linecount divided by ten.

And some people still cound "lines of code" as a measure of productivity. Sob.
