Well your programming style and mine are very different. I thought the whole
point of using functions was to provide a usable abstraction of a portion of
a program's logic. I therefore *conceptualize* a function long before I
write it, and don't feel the need to make it's source code explicit just
because I've caslled it somewhere in my (developing) program.
