Hehe. :-) Actually I use such tricks only when they really buy a
significant amount of conciseness, which usually requires that
the rest of the code be pretty short in relation to the tricksy
code. Such tricks generally reduce code length by increasing
coupling along some axis, so in modules or larger programs, it is
more sensible to make the part in question more verbose but also
amenable to abstraction and decoupling.
