I certainly don't.  But, as I said, I've yet to find a case where my
own suggestion could not work.  At first, sometimes, it looks like it
won't work, but then I realize that if I actually think I need to include
the code right there in the if statements, my design is already broken,
and I fix it to allow the much better approach with the tuple-list...

But you didn't want to hear that again, did you?  ;-)
