Re: Age/Experience

41/19

I vividly remember when I first started programming on the S/38 that the
senior programmers used to have arguments about whether to use the cycle or
open the file under User Control....

It's there - be aware of it, but I would tend not to use it except for one
shots. I pretty much agree with Jon's argument as I prefer to see code that
tells you explicitly (within reason) what it is doing.
