I agree. This method is only useful if computational
complexity is much greater than space complexity. Besides,
even complexity is actually a fairly volatile concept in
this case, because we are talking about computing a constant
function (no input).
To be honest, I can't think of a situtation where I'd use my
own hack. I wonder what was Jakob's reason for posting
originally.
