Yes, but how can it be guaranteed in future?  We may avoid the
problems in future by keeping the consistency at this moment.  It's
one of the good points of keeping code consistent, in addition to:
increased readability / understandability and making the bug easier to
be spotted.

Good!  A hint is that there is no 100% perfect way to achieve this.
It's always compromise, and you'll have to choose which one is better
than others.  For that, you'll have to evaluate multiple
implementations, and it's a really good exercise for coding.

No problem.  I left these driver codes just because of laziness, as I
knew to work more on the code than the simple scripting :)
