> -- The simplicity of script-code seems deceptive!?!

If that's refering to the script in the lower left corner, I guess it 
omits a bunch of stuff. Whether that's "deceptive" is rather subjective - 
for example, its ommitting the mappings (which at one point were a big 
part of the swift story). Now its probably ok to cough politely and get 
away with that for str_roots, but the code as given seems to assign 
data_files[0] many times without it being clear from the fragment that 
data_files[0] is going to be different each time round (presumably it 
is?). Mapping often seems to be a user-effort-sink, so discarding them and 
then saying "easy!" is kinda cheeky...
