Okay, you may shower me with praise now.
Dude, you rock.
I hereby decree, in my usual authoritarian and bossy manner, that
today (10/31) shall forever be known as Tim Starling Day. Wikipedians
of the distant future will marvel at the day when the new parsing
algorithm dawned upon us. Tonight at dinner, every Wikipedian should
say a toast to Tim and his many inventions.
In countries that celebrate Halloween, children will first say "Trick
or Treat" and then, when they get the candy, they will say "Secure and
Split" and run away, in honor of Tim's work in this area.

by now: *every day* is Brion Vibber day!)
