And bother Dr.,er, Professor Case out on the farm?  About this time of
year, he's working full time securing pump handles.

Rhetorically, if their recognizer/compiler ignores MODULE-COMPLIANCE
statements and the changes are all legally specified through
MODULE-COMPLIANCE statements, which is imperfect?

Footnotes for those outside the United States:

a) Members of The University of Tennessee sports teams are called
Volunteers.
b) SNMP Research, Inc. was established on a farm outside of Knoxville,
Tennessee by Jeff Case, who was/is associated with the University of
Tennessee Electrical Engineering Department.
c) The University of Tennessee is in Knoxville, Tennessee.
d) Jeff Case often uses the saying, "You don't need to lick a pump
handle in February to know it's a bad idea".
e) February in Knoxville, Tennessee can be quite cold.
f) Graduates of The University of Alabama, which I attended, are
typically not very fond of The University of Tennessee, in a collegial,
competitive, sort of way. :)
g) We tend to wonder about the origins of Dr. Case's favorite saying.
