oh true that.

im a firm believer in knowing how to reinvent the wheel.  In fact i
blame STL for a global dumbing down of the world of programmers (;

but seriously yeah thats a good point I hadn't considered.

Good point, sometimes its good to reinvent the wheel to get a good base
understanding of any issues though - using libraries can make one feel a
bit out of the loop. But, I think its probably worth keeping the
re-inventing the wheel brief and proof of concept-ish.
