Yes, certainly worth noting, though. I did have this being a non-static 
inner class at some point; i think that works, but given that instances of 
it are shared between many different instances of the outer class, it 
seems wrong.

I wrote it in Eclipse, which i have set up to use tabs, and 
copy-and-pasted it. The tabs stayed tabs. I could have reformatted it with 
spaces, but i just wanted to post it and get to bed.

Actually, i did it just to annoy you.

Yes, that's nice.

A serious implementation of this would probably just track the size in a 
variable, rather than counting the links each time.
