still not forgotten

That light at the end of the tunnel is still there, but it was much further away than it seemed at first, mostly because I'm much better at procrastinating than I am at dealing with open-ended puzzles in a disciplined manner. Once I can see the boundaries of a problem, I can manage some discipline, but so long as I continue to discover aspects I hadn't previously considered, or had forgotten, I'm very reluctant to go with what is likely to be a shallow version, for fear of having to refactor it later. This project has been pushing my limits for holding the boundaries in mind, hence the delay.
