this is (imho) a good reason to have explicit rules for what is 
acceptable, and what is not acceptable, for a test.

i have previously had the unfortunate experience of spending lots of 
time developing some piece of code for the shootout only to have it 
thrown out from the shootout because of undocumented rules. since that 
time i ask first, and code later. getting answers is really difficult, 
but less devastating (this was intended to be exaggerated).
