I'm looking forward to seeing that code.

I'm not doing a job for you. I'm showing you a way of thinking. That's 
far more important than the specific details of a particular exercise. 
You make your brains work by reading what I've written, comparing it to 
what you've written, and identifying in what ways mine is an improvement 
(if any - which is for you to decide). Where you can see that my way is 
cleaner, simpler, faster, more elegant, whatever you want to call it, 
you can adopt that way of programming for yourself. And where you think 
it's dirtier, more complicated, slower, less elegant, you can perhaps 
ask questions about why I did it in that particular way. Either way 
involves you *thinking* and *learning*.

And that's exactly why I post such code. And that's why I then asked you 
to do the same clean-up job on new_text().
