[FWP] Consistency

[John Porter <jdporter@min.net>]

We all know that

	"In general, Perl operators do exactly what you want, unless
	you want consistency"  (Camel p.143, and perlfunc)

and what this means for Perl in the larger sense.
So I was delighted to come across this quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson:

	A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds,
	adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines.
	With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. 

Put that your Python Pipe and smoke it!
