Integrate \(e^{2 \pi i x} e^{2 \pi i y}\).

You know in Fantasia when Mickey teaches a broom to fetch water and then he falls asleep and the brooms go haywire and have poured enough water to flood the whole place and create a veritable indoor maelstrom?

That's what it feels like when you write some server automation software and you wake up next morning to see the mess your code wrought.
