From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   bulletproof adj.   Used of an algorithm or implementation
   considered extremely {robust}; lossage-resistant; capable of
   correctly recovering from any imaginable exception condition -- a
   rare and valued quality.   Implies that the programmer has thought of
   all possible errors, and added {code} to protect against each one.
   Thus, in some cases, this can imply code that is too heavyweight,
   due to excessive paranoia on the part of the programmer. Syn.
   {armor-plated}.
