Programming adage: Never make your code so clever that you can just
barely understand it yourself because *you* will have to understand it
in the future and you won't be this clever then.
On the other hand "What idiot designed this? Oh. It was me." is an
ordinary engineering experience.
You can help the maintainers by running Unstable or Testing and filing
bug reports.
