Full credit with making the code more readable and maintainable. I'd
like to look at the code generated to see if you have introduced a
slowdown, however. My personal preference is for readable code and let
the compiler sort it out, but I know there are people who would trade
ugly code to save a cycle even in seldom-used code paths.
You might like to see if "unlikely" halps the code, I won't have a
recent compiler until tomorrow night, since I'm locked into AS3.0 (gcc
3.2.3) today and tomorrow. Oops, I do have 3.3.2 on my lappie, but
that's still old.
