Absolutely! I'm under no illusion that the sample code offered
was the best algorithm/approach for the problem. That the first
version was just leftovers from some benchmarking I had done a
while back -- it was just the first fragment of code that came
to hand that had some deeply-nested expressions.
I assure one and all that I do NOT recommend constructing
blocks from right to left!
Of course, that sentence betrays that my native/habitual language
is Indo-European-based (reading left-to-right) rather than Hebrew
or Arabic (reading right-to-left) or ancient Greek (when written
in boustrophedon).
