Maybe, maybe not.  As I wrote a moment ago, the general solution is
almost ready.  The only problem with it is that it is slow - OTOH,
I made virtually no attempts at optimization, and it /is/ extremely
inefficient - for instance, it calculates the same thing repeatedly
during many operations.  This is the price I paid for more or less
readable code, with some decent level of abstraction.  I wanted to have
something working first and only then optimize;-).
