    Wheels don't get to be standard unless many people have looked at them and decided that they are worthwhile. Any code that passes that test will be of sufficient quality that most people, most of the time, will not do a better job.

    While there are people who consistently invent better wheels than the standard ones, the odds are very good that you are not among them.
