Summary reasons to reject:
- more close to generic rules
- fair for tybalt89 (who has very nice solition!)
- me becomes a winner
to leave as is:
- no operations on database
- creation of precedent, necessity to specify more exact memory rules
- fair for three persons
- trend to allow more perl tricks not to disallow

Let's roll a dice... perl -le 'print.5<rand'   Leave it!
