This kind of competition is not relevant to what I am not talking
about. One has to spend extra effort to come up with the absolute
shortest code. That effort must be considered into the cost as well.
What I am talking about is "cost", which ultimately map to all
programmer's time involved in typing and thinking about what to type.
(But not include thinking about algorithm, data structure, etc.)
