So far we have 3 votes for it, 1 against it (not counting
mine). Maybe the others can give some useful examples too (as
this was not suggested by me but I don't think it harms us

too).

It is NOT a model for me. It was just the quickest thing I
could find. I've seen numerous apps using switches this way
in the past years, though I would not sit here if I could
remember everything I've seen in my life :)
