    Ah, but can such terms as "goodlife" even be _processed_ as something other
    than an oxymoron, or a nominative-placeholder that hashes to the address of
    weighted-nominative-placeholder "to-be-exterminated-later"? If Berserkers
    have any time to consider such matters, I wonder what they conclude.
