Thought so ;-)

It would be nice if the working of it was documented in the code. If you
ever get hit by a rampaging asteroid or just goes MIA then this
"interesting" code would risk being non-maintained as most developers
would just turn away after one glance.

In a prefect world all code is obvious by first (or second glance)
without any need for comments, but in this case I'm sure a few helping
words would go a long way towards making it easier for newcomers to help
maintaining.
