For all my proselytizing, I do the same, although I think my upper limit is
closer to twenty, or more to the point where the list isn't dynamic. If the
list is generated in some way then it's almost always my assumption that
the list could grow unexpectedly. I agree a better syntax that provided a
built-in counter would be nice.
