A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.

(i.e., don't get in the way of my hyperbolic self-contradiction, boyo.)

I mean, here's an example, from chapter 3 of the user's guide:

\xymatrix{
 *=0{\bullet}
 \ar@/^/[dr]!U|1
 \ar@/^/[drr]!U|2
 \ar@/^/[drrr]!U|3
\\
 &*+[F]\txt{x}
 &*+[F]\txt{x\\x}
 &*+[F]\txt{x\\x\\x}
}

That typesets this: <http://tex.loria.fr/graph-pack/doc-xypic/xyguide-html/img62.gif>.

Sane syntax? Not hardly.
