That's absolutely a Seymour hallmark.  It'd be funny if he ever designed

pair of all-terrain treads, and nothing but a subway-style wrist loop
for the driver to hold onto.  Fast and loose at all costs. :)

Either I didn't, or I did and those neurons didn't survive the next
fsck.  I suspect the latter.
