I guess this is my fault... I did the original "terse" form and the new one.
A couple reasons for the switch over to the new one is that it's more
comprehensive
(25 thousand words versus about 7 thousand) Also the legality of the
older terser database
was in question. But in any case, I didn't nuke the old code, I
commented it out.
The old way was pretty simple anyways so adding it back in shouldn't be
hard at all..
