I seem to prefer writing point-free and reading conventional. :)  
Haskell seems to have brainwashed me that point-free style reduces  
bugs. I say brainwashed because I can't remember the reasoning to back  
up the idea, other than to mumble something about less code being  
good. I suspect type checking plays a big role, correspondingly  
minimizing the utility when imported here and compared to the other  
styles.

In this case I would say I prefer Meikel's solutions most of all.  
Still, I wouldn't avoid comp and partial; they have some good  
applications (no pun intended).
