Right, forgot to finish with my main point: it would be nice if "sane code" mapped nicely onto the use or non-use of specific language constructions, or indeed there were any simple algorithm for distinguishing code that was sane from code that was otherwise; indeed, this idea is so seductive that the search for such algorithms in various domains has driven thousands of years of philosophy and mathematics. But, alas, code -- like life -- is not so simple, and seductive ideas don't always give the payoff you hope for.
