But is that *really* the easy part ? Kind of *seems* easy, but... At least 80% of the complicated code I've ever seen came from a wrong structure. And it's obvious that if the structure had followed the processing needs, then the code would have been way much simpler (and better). As a matter of fact, whenever I find myself writing complicated code, I *know* there's something wrong.
