*my thanks to Webster’s OnLine for the format, Sojourner for some of the ideas for requirements, and to Hrafnkell for providing the encouragement to see this definition through (using a pre-existing definition is one thing, creating a new one, even a small one such as this, can be an interesting challenge)!
