Really forces the user to not use features of the language (like lazy eval).
Not worth the effort, boxes in the user, etc.

I still can't get over the fact that he's a large man, because in my mind's eye he's a tiny twink standing next to the striding colossus named Cam Newton.

Most of these institutions tend to be hawkish (ISW for sure, CSIS, even).
