My understanding was that junctions were most definitely in the core. As to what's wrong with the example you give...nothing. If you like it, by all means use it. But, (1) TIMTOWTDI, (2) Smyler's version is more visually concise (although, granted, it actually takes a few extra chars), (3) Smyler's version puts the variable (the important thing in the expression) on the left instead of the in the middle, and (4) IMHO, Smyler's version reads better as English. --Dks
