The latter one was the one used in DDX. I remember that in my very 
early days David Dawes strongly recommended this one to me so I got 
acustomed to it and have used it ever since.
Today I'm using it because I'm most used to it and it makes code
most readable for me - not to endores a certain persons views or
opinions.
