I *tend* to feel that if expression readability has become a problem,
there are deeper difficulties present, like poorly-named fields or poorly-
designed code.  That is, trouble in keeping track of what's going on is
just a symptom, and understanding and curing the underlying problem -- why
is the code so hard to follow? -- is better than slapping on a syntactic
bandaid.
