Most of the time I HAVE to do it long hand just so I can figure out how it
works or try to keep straight in my mind what I am trying to do.  Sometimes,
after I get it working, I change it to a one liner just to impress someone
who may see the code in the future.  Most of the time, it's not worth the
effort because it either breaks and I have to spend time troubleshooting or
no one ever sees the code.  In other words (after all that), I usually
prefer the first example so that it's easier for ME to figure it out later.
