Well, I'll go record and say I think it's Bloody Silly. It's over-cutesy, adding syntax for the sake of syntax, doesn't do anything for the readability of code, and doesn't really actually gain very much anyway. But even so I dare say it'll go in because Damian likes it. -- King's Law of Clues : Common sense is inversely proportional to the academic intelligence of the person concerned.
