referring
"to coenocytic code,
^^^^^^^^^^ "
while (after suitable explanation from PD) I understand 'propaedeutic'
http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=coenocytic
offers an adj. based on
"coe·no·cyte Pronunciation Key (sn-st)
n.
A multinucleate cytoplasmic mass enclosed by a single cell wall, as in slime molds and certain fungi and algae."
fungi and slime molds don't seem to share much with sas
unless perhaps, a complex mass enclosed only by a very thin layer !

Nice! And, of course, nothing's more fun than obscure biology jokes.
But you forgot that the Word Wealth word of the day is 'propaedeutic'.

And it will be presented in a more understandable fashion, with better

That's right. Drop in a few Perl inside jokes and steal my
thunder. Now I'm *really* going to tell Jana...
