So why a solution that clearly involves repeating things multiple times is less ugly than a macro-based approach, that allows to avoid duplication?
He is entitled to his opinion, Arkadiy. Your comments are disparaging and disrespectful of his contribution.
I didn't mean to be disrespectful, and I don't think I was, but I do apologize if it sounded like this... But I am also entitled to my opinion, and this opinion is that any solution that doesn't involve duplication is, by definition, cleaner than one that does. Firthermore, I do think that the goal of eliminating macros for the sake of eliminating macros is not a right goal. Therefore, while deeply respecting the author of this proposal, I simply think, based on his motivation, that this is a step in the wrong direction. I may be wrong, of course. Regards, Arkadiy
