Well, I'd rather say that it depends on what your expectations are. ;-)

BTW, in math we often use somewhat sloppy convenience notations that
don't hold water if we want to be really rigorous, but in a programming
language you can't do that (at least until computers really start
thinking in a human way).

I seriously hope that at least the obvious warts of Q have been ironed
out by now...
