        Yes, in the case of mutually-exclusive sections of HTML, you
        would get shown both for a preview.  (There is also a built-in
        "unless::" class.)  In my experience, it's doesn't crop up THAT
        often.

        I'm also not claiming the technique is perfect or right for
        every possible situation.  Some hairy HTML pages can take some
        head-scratching to figure out how to get the page generated
        using the technique, but the majority of cases are fairly
        straight-forward.
