Repeated control structures can be a sign of bad programming. But still, I'd rather use the same structure over and over than an OO way to obscurely do the same thing less efficiently.

And about the subrefs: Sorry, my bad. I only saw the 'print ...' example and somehow didn't notice the other one. The example of what you thought I was thinking about, was not what I meant, but I still like that better than the OO thingy :)
