I fail to see any advantage to that structure. Wouldn't this be
even better in any case? :
subroutineCallToDoThis()
subroutineCallToDoThat()
It's more concise, self-documenting, more modular, maintainable,
more testable, and so forth....
Just what value does "bundle" provide? Your example doesn't show it.
