I find a lot of my own stuff is like this - kindasorta fits and kindasorta 
doesn't for similar reasons.

(Since a lot of what I've been doing lately is creating a SysV-flavored 
rewrite of Unix from my own perspective as a 40-something who actually got 
most of my experience coding for 16-bits and MS-DOS, and speaks fluent but 
non-native C.  I'm sure it comes out in my coding style.)
