You didn't say compared to what. You asked what added flexibility does
that give you.
I seem to have a C attitude and you seem to have a C++ attitude. I prefer
checking when asked for and none when I don't want it, you have the "must
check everything" attitude. When we get into all of the 'extras' you throw
into the functions such as weather affects on AC, yes, it should either be
a function or a separate macro.
