Probably could but there comes a time when too much terseness is a bad thing
(a little can go a long way, as in your original example!). That to me is
one of the key things to figure out when programming - how terse can I be

difference in speed of execution? I am going to have to go back to my jQuery
code from a few weeks ago when I discovered it and revamp some of the things
I've done since!
