Too bloody right he will. You've just moved the goalposts again. All
of a sudden printing to stderr is worth a 4 stroke penalty, when last
time it was only worth one. Yes, I know that head.pl dies. But only
after it's passed the test. And if I change it so that it doesn't die
that brings my total to 92, not 93.
