Liviu,
I believe the terms he uses for "bug" are "works correctly the first time"
and "small typo"... ;-)

If you were to make the case that readability leads to maintainability, I
think that many of us would tend to agree with you. However, you have
already demonstrated with the code that you posted on the 27th of May that
even if *you*, Peter Olcott personally find the code readable, it is not
necessarily correct or reliable.

You could simply look at the current code and see if what you considered
to be a bug is no longer there. If not it would seem that you are just
trying to be argumentative.

You too are intentionally misconstruing what I said just to be
argumentative. This is deceitful.

Yet another deceitful misconstruing of what I said. I never ever claimed
to be infallible. You are measuring my code against an implied claim of
infallibility, thus yet again intentionally deceitful.

There were a total of three typos that needed to be corrected before the
code worked essentially correctly. I then augmented the code to reject
Surrogates, and this code worked correctly without even a typo.
