If Atom includes this on GPU in a future version of ocl#cat it will run 
in circles around any 'manual' work you can come up with, to the point 
that it could compensate for a good deal of sofistication. That's why I 
like this idea (I haven't tested it at all). Together with a cleverly 
crafted wordlist it should do a fair job with very little user effort.

There's no way it can ever replace Single mode though. That's a whole 
different beast!
