**[off topic]**  
Sorry to digress in this thread, but IMHO when there are a lot of responses and code posted, it seems much easier to scroll through and read the different comments if the code details are hidden (_[as shown here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/collapsible-code-sections-in-discourse/64803/2)_). Call it discourse hygiene.
