It's a matter of personal preference.  I prefer to store the inverse
relation in a separate variable rather than recomputing it multiple
times.  (Maybe OCaml is smart enough to recognize when a value has 
already been computed and avoid computing it again; I don't know.)

In the end this probably doesn't make much difference.
