I'm reminded of a true Prolog story.
Consultant C was to write a program for organisation O.
Organisation O demanded that all such programs be written in language L.
Consultant C was of the opinion that Prolog was the right language
for the job, but alas, L wasn't Prolog.
So Consultant C wrote a Prolog interpreter in L, and delivered that as
"the program", while the "real" program was described as
"configuration data".
