I don't think you can. And more importantly I don't think you should.

So many times I have spent longs hours working on a very simple task but those long hours went in trying to find out the best, most elegant, most efficient, yet all inclusive (for cases), and still requires the minimum amount of code.

And once you get there, you get the feeling of eureka. You know that tini-tiny little piece of code can take anything you throw at it.

How in the world would you quantify that :).
