Indeed -- I had to do this a couple of days ago, and in my notes
(I do take notes when doing such things: age and that) I see
"Jeez. What a Rube Goldberg. Should I say Grube Goldberg?"
It's one of those cases where each step towards building the tower
seems to make sense, and at the end you say "wait: how did we arrive
here?".
This is not a specific critique towards Grub people, mind you, but
a reminder to myself to slash complexity early when designing a
system -- even at the cost of some feature or other.
