It is in service with is_type(), but is itself not stable as keywords 
and keyword groupings change. Could an 'intended stable' form be created 
/ maintained - sure. Is it worth the trouble - ehhh...

References to 'radio' will lead the kids reading to think we're ancient. 
The youtube link was perhaps enough to fool em - that we're playing with 
POV-Ray won't help. ;-)

As for what's playing in my head... A storm, always about three beats 
from incoherence. When I listen to music while coding, it's 
meaningful-vocal-less. Thinking, reading, coding in a public place where 
the sounds are a vibration, where only an occasional word or two pops to 
the surface, is best.

Anyhow. Let me know when I've gone over the edge - another one. I'm 
still upright - I think.
