Hmmmm ... a quote from the paper (and not

    use Inline C;
    print JAxH('Perl');


    __END__
    __C__
    SV* JAxH(char* x) {
        return newSVpvf("Just Another %s Hacker\n", x);

Wow, this aids clarity SO much I think I'll retain my sanity by staying

were unnecessary: at least the light has begun to dawn...
