This module attempts to answer, as accurately as it can, one of the nastiest
technical questions there is.

Am I on the internet?

That is, it's a problem that had no clean permanent solution, and for which
you could just keep writing more and more functionality indefinitely,
asymtopically approaching 100% correctness but never reaching it.

And so this module is intended to do as good a job as possible, without
having to resort to asking any human questions (who may well get it wrong
anyway), and limiting itself to a finite amount of programming work and a
reasonable level of memory overhead to load the code.
