I didn't actually advocate a loop, but that method could work too. It
all depends on the actual code being executed. I'd still be in favour
of shor-circuit Or operators for this, although it does cost
readability.

Side point: Interesting that I'm referred to by surname here. Seems
there's a large number of people here named Chris - fits my theory
that geeks are often named Chris, and vice versa!
