I can see that it is clever, but I don't get why it is smart. Isn't it
just another way of writing?:
if is_movable(c):
a = b + 1
If it is, I find that it is more obfuscation than expression. It's akind
to using a magic value. My paraphrase of our code should really read
something like::
motionLength = 1
if is_movable(c):
a = b + motionLength
Or your code should possibly have read::
a = b + motionLength(c)
But probably I misunderstand you intentions.
