Yes I agree. Coming from an asm programming background I sometimes forget
that the number of lines is not a good benchmark from which to judge
something elegance :-) Also sometimes I get the feeling that some of my
suggestions belong in a programming guide (hint) not the reference manual. 


So I guess we will continue with the status quo. Though I think the
additions to the documentation that you suggested would be useful (mainly
to stop other people finding the undocumented way like me!).
