adj. Said of a program that does the Right Thing in a wide variety of
complicated circumstances. There is a difference between calling a program
smart and calling it intelligent; in particular, there do not exist any
intelligent programs (yet see AI-complete ). Compare robust (smart programs
can be brittle ).
