Code or designs that trade on a particularly intimate knowledge or
experience of a particular operating system or language or complex
application interface. Distinguished from {deep magic}, which trades
more on arcane theoretical knowledge. Writing device drivers is heavy
wizardry; so is interfacing to {X} (sense 2) without a toolkit. Esp.:
found in source-code comments of the form "Heavy wizardry begins
here". Compare {voodoo programming}.
