we at s.p.a.m. strongly believe that there should be a spam in every
pot. but not a pam in every spot, because spot is not allowed, he's
only a dog. in fact in future releases of python (henceforth to be
called "spamathon") we plan to do away with archaic technology such
as hash tables, in favour of the far more versatile and user friendly
spam tins. if it can hold spam, it can hold anything!
