Do you have that page number handy? I must have overlooked that gem
(easy to do; _PBP_ is a gem-rich environment, and my bucket is rather
small). This is somewhat similar to the technique on p.272, but not the
same.

I don't think that exact example was in there, but I, *blush*, didn't
even know about hash slicing before I read _PBP_ and now I find I'm
using it all the time.

I found the stat snippet on p.92 extremely enlightening (not unlike the
rest of the book).
