       | workflow interfaces. It helps to enforce that discipline of not
       | straying too far away from the desired path and handling
       | exceptions. If it strays too far to the right then you know you
       | need to look at things again and refactor. Worth reading.

         | I know there must be many like this but I think it might be

         | landing - which by all accounts was a bit of a miracle it all
         | worked so well at first go.
