True, but all the proposed variations just lighten the cumbersomeness
in a syntactic manner. The problem is not the size of each entry but
the number of entries and the implied maintenance issues. I find the
approach Michael described in his original post to be a good
compromise. And the $with_* variables scheme is especially smart!
