Well, I might but they definitely do not :-) We are talking about some maths-averse people and you would not have got to the final syllable of 'fibonacci' before all hope was lost. But I am sure there are plenty of examples that rely on laziness which will communicate. I am sure I read a blog post or something on c.l.f/c.l.h recently about lazily sorting a million numbers but can't find it.
Maybe they are interested in finding all equal files in a set of files. This can be done in an elegant way by sorting the files with respect to their content. Practical enough?
Indeed, thanks! Jim
