OK, so here's a few short questions... I guess asking here is going to
generate slightly skewed results, but here goes.
1. Do you consider yourself a "programmer"? (I.e., are you comfortable
firing up an editor and writing a little code if the need arises?)
2. Have you ever heard of a "coroutine"?
3. Do you know what a coroutine actually *is*? (Rather than just having
heard the term before.)
4. Do you know what "existential quantification" means?
5. There is an optional extension to the Haskell programming language
called ExistentialQuantification. Can you guess what it does?

Might have. But don't have a clue what it is.

See above.

Nope.

Yes. (The programming language Icon uses coroutines for, like, everything.)

Yes.

Yes, because you've described it. I would have guessed it did existential
quantification.

The NFL should go international. I'd pay to
see the Detroit Lions vs the Roman Catholics.

yes, yes, yes, yes, don't know (because to know if my guess is right I
need to know what it does. This type of question can never be answered
with either yes or no)

Oh, I learned about it in predicate logic, just forgot. :P

definitely / maybe / not really / no idea / well, I'd guess it does existential
quantification, what else :)

I do not consider myself a programmer, but I am "comfortable firing up
an editor and ..."

Not sure. Sounds vaguely familiar and so does the definition now that I
have looked it up.
