In defense: ad hoc solutions don't need 100% coverage, mea culpa: I shouldn't have switched to it in discussing the macro. mea maxima culpa: I hesitated mentioning it at all because the ad hoc solution doesn't address the only stated goal, namely, reducing key strokes. Whether it is worth introducing a new control structure to reduce keystrokes by 5*n-2, where n is the number of bindings and is typically small -- and this formula does not work for the boolean- default-true case, once again--is a matter of taste. However, as a learning/teaching instrument, it is quite good, as subsequent discussion illustrates.
