Don't take the phrase "toy problem" as necessarily pejorative.  It's a  
common phrase that simply refers to a small instance of a problem that  
can be used to debug one's thinking or coding.  Not only do we all use  
small problems when we're learning, but also much further down the  
road to explore a new feature or configuration or algorithm or  
language or whatever.  Just the other day, I created an ANTLR grammar  
called DebugThinking.g, which contained a toy problem that helped me  
get a handle on a much more complex problem I was trying to address.   
Toys can be good!
