I noticed. That's why I included your comments -- you knew what you were

Not as fast as C. Muahahaha! Then again, YAML.pm was faster to write :)

But I have to agree about the $o->foo. I can't till when we can just say
$o.parse(). "." is just a lot easier to type than "->". You don't need to hit
"SHIFT" for 1/2 of the characters :)
