        Sure - everyone's spent time doing that; like looking for:

        if (a);
        {
                always_happens();
        }

        but ... people also waste time hitting page up and down trying to get
enough of the code in scope to see what is going on. Arguably by
habituating yourself to these being here, you're more likely to fall
victim to this when reading other people's code ;-> so bad style can be
good practise ! :-)

        Well - it seems that as each person touches the code, and has a
different view they change the local scope. c'est la vie. I usually try
to go for consistency in the function / module.

        On that basis it's notable that you made that function inconsistent on
this topic :-)

        ATB,

                Michael.
