Not to me. I hate noting have the source to a function, especially when I'm 
working with very low-level stuff. If a function is non-reentrant and you 
call it from an interrupt, heaven help you finding it.

Well, I can generally do the same with my stuff. Basically, it's good for me 
for the practice. If you go through life never fully understanding 
linked-lists and suchlikes, then that can't be good.

I'm sure he's a bit older than me then ;-)
