Not to put too fine a point on it, but that example seems to be about using `snafu()` instead of `&snafu` but there isn't anything against `&snafu()`. Is there any reason not to use `&snafu()`? Software speaks in tongues of man; I debug, therefore I code. Stop saying 'script'. Stop saying 'line-noise'.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It doesn't work with prototypes, it's longer, IMHO it's distracting, and if you forget the parentheses and provide no arguments you're in trouble. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]
