Not many people get bitten, and they don’t get bitten often.
But when you do get bitten, it’s a mindbendingly insidious bug,
because triggering it requires a conspiracy between several
actions at distance.

(In fact you don’t want to have to debug *any* of the problems
relating to $@ smoke and mirrors.)
