| 30 | <P>I am indebted to <A href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~rs/">Robert Sedgewick's |
|---|
| 31 | "Algorithms in C++" </A>for forcing me to think about algorithms and their |

| 32 | performance, and to the folks at <A href="http://www.boost.org">boost</A> for |
|---|
| 33 | forcing me to <I>think</I>, period.</P> |
