i think we might have a misunderstanding here.
allow me to try to clearify:
if the design of the benchmark allows something, then this solution 
should be allowed to be the ''real'' solution. it should not be judged 
unfit, becuse it is different to how other languages have solved the 
design requierments.
ok?
