smart 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).
