I'll go with "generally" on the multiple returns. There are times when
it's just oh so much clearer. But I understand your concern. However I
do not like
eval returnvar = this;
...
eval returnvar = that;
...
eval returnvar = theotherthing;
...
return returnvar;
just to have one return statement. Harkens back to subroutines, or called
programs versus subprocedures
eval parm1=this;
eval parm2=that;
eval parm3=theotherthing;
exsr mysubr
or call myprogram
parm parm1
parm parm2
parm parm3
eval workvar=parm3;

So messy.

And on the Not, I did just rewrite my previous example to take out the Not
before I sent it because I too thought it was more readable without the
not.
