Mike that's a good point to note...

Experience has taught me that any time you define a function closely, and build it to meet the narrow requirements of that definition, Murphy's Law says someone will want to add a new use for the function as soon as you claim the job is 90% finished. (Unfortunately, the corollary is also often true - any time you provide for as-yet-unnamed future functionality, Sod's Law says it's one function that'll never be called for in the future. So you have to make your choices and take your chances.)
