Hmmmm… just in case, that was kind of a joke about the strict  
interpretation of the exercise… modulus a license. That didn’t  
solve the problem. In the first place because that’s not the  
intention of the exercise, and on the other hand because an  
assignment actually does not _convert_ any given string.
