If you made 2 big metal '?' and turned them sideways you'd have ice
picks to grapple back up that ice-hill.  '!' could also be used for
pittons.  Really I'm most in favor of adding those 2 -- I would like
to see @ used in the names of methods that return copies which
reference all or parts of the former `self', but that is not as
important as denoting which methods are booleans and which are
self-modifying (imo).
