Not quite silently, but yeah, pretty close. It got yanked because,
while they address a real problem (and one I missed) an int's not
quite up to the task. I'm not sure what is--I'm thinking property
hashes, but they seem pretty heavyweight.
I like passing in init a parameter. We just need more than an int. :(
