I don't see that as being much more complicated to debug.  If it
makes sense to do that here and there, I'm for it.

Making the code pretty at the expense of making it harder to
understand/maintain is out.  Removing duplicated code and
streamlining things, making the code _easier_ to follow/maintain is
in.

I'm just not in the habit of using preprocessor stuff much.  Doesn't
mean I shouldn't.
