::Only if someone provides some proper documentation so that we could, say, have writing an interpreter/compiler for it as an RC challenge.

The main page currently says: "Since people can only keep seven things (plus or minus two) in their minds at a time, this quickly becomes an intellectual burden." But there is some significant evidence that this issue is related to the native language of the speaker. I do not know keywords to search on to dig out references, but I am remembering that typical chinese speakers can hold ten independent concepts where english speakers can hold six. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 15:58, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
