I actually tend to find code like that hard to read, because all of the 
operations are inside out in comparison to normal. But since the only 
difference between his example and yours is the formatting, I agree yours is 
easier to read. Still, I'd much prefer if such code didn't use UFCS, since I 
find it much harder to read that way. It's just so backwards.
