If it works for you, use it. Like many other
tools in my chest (GOTO) I'll use it as
soon as I need it, but the need has yet
to present itself.

I work very hard to make my code
self-documenting, and there is
nothing obvious or self-documenting
about the cycle. Now, on the S/34
there was no choice, and my
fetch overflow fu was second to
none, but that is a skill that I have
retired.

A lot of this is a matter of style, but
I will always pick the explicit over
the implicit.
