  >> When reading the code, I don't care that ExitRequested is an indicator
variable.  

I agree - but the constant and *IN(constantname) solution is something that
you can get people to add to their code as and when indicator function is
discovered.  Your method - while better - involves mapping the indicator
structure etc.  Some folks won't take that trouble - so I take a pragmatic
approach that makes it hard for them to come up with an excuse for not doing
it!
