fair 'nuff I once wrote a general purpose LOCATESUB that made LOCATE functionality available to I-descriptors so I wouldn't have to write a separate subroutine each time I needed it. In retrospect, it was overkill. Altho I generally like the technique of reusable general utility subroutines, I think locate lends itself to specific subrs for each use. My generalized SUBR( '*LOCATESUB',....) logic was too complicated. For example, I had to handle LOCATE's THEN & ELSE clauses both, and it handled multivalued pairs of strings to search for/be searched. Too much.
A recent positive example on this list was exposing CHANGE() to I-descriptors.
