Amazing. I've gone from not understanding it to thinking that I
understood it, after Chris' explanation.
I've since realised, upon reading the above, that I don't understood
it, and done some head scratching, and mucking around, which
convinced me that I now understood it.
However, since then I've done some _more_ mucking around, and I'm
convinced that I don't undertand it again.
For example, Oh bollocks, I mean, Oh hoorah! - I've just worked out
why what was going to be a demonstration of how it behaves
counter-intuitively is in fact correct and obvious (parameters to
map), and hence I've just understood it again. I have so much to
learn...
Please - noone feed me any more information - it might trip the
balance the other way again! :-|
Truly not of this earth...
Phil
