then they should call the same handler. what does that have to do
with inflexibility? and even there:
options = { 404: handlerA, 405: handlerA, ... };
is nicer than:
options = { error: function(xhr) {
switch (xhr.statusCode) {
case 404:
case 405: handlerA(xhr); break;
}
}, ... };

they already are in different functions, and a switch statement is
simple to write. no argument. you see flexibility in terms of you
typing code. i am looking at it in terms of either myself type *or
other code composing an options object*. This is why i speak of
flexibility. More than one way to put together the code/options for
an ajax call.
