Folks,

This business today with STRUCT_ASSIGN is the second time
this week something has popped up where I least expected it.
There was even an article about the phenomenon this week,
when a constant that appears in a rotating black hole
equation all of a sudden showed up in a three-body problem:

http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/41310

I keep running into the usefulness of Scale_Vector used
in conjunction with Value_Locate. That combination just
turns up in the oddest places, and always doing *exactly*
the job I had in mind.

STRUCT_ASSIGN is another of those extremely useful
functions that bails you out when you least expect it.

Cheers,

David
