::::** Solutions using Proprietary libraries - good to demonstrate available support for hire.
::::All of these points are important to different coders in different scenarios. What would be nice is to have a standard template indicating how which solution was used, eg instead of simply <nowiki>{{header|ALGOL 68}}</nowiki>, we could have <nowiki>{{header|ALGOL 68|using=library:GSL}} or {{header|ALGOL 68|solution=builtin}} or {{header|ALGOL 68|solution=algorithm}}</nowiki>
:::: AlterntativelyAlternatively we could split tasks, eg [[Long_multiplication/algorithm]], [[Long_multiplication/builtin]], [[Long_multiplication/Proprietary Library]]
:::: Or a check box table (for each of the above) could be included at the start of each languages section as a visual aid to seeing which solution is most complete.
::::(As an aside, [[ALGOL 68]] implemented the first two solutions, builtin and a complete algorithumalgorithm.)
::::So far, I implement the most interesting solution, which is not always the shortest solution. <i>Sometimes</i> I implement both as the generalised code versus the one-off code when such a comparison is useful/interesting/informative.
