If you succeed in subverting the standard idiom, you succeed in making
your code misleading for anyone else who ever reads it. You may also
succeed in hindering yourself from either learning the standard idiom
and understanding others' code or in understanding your own code if
you subvert it sometimes and sometimes not. Seems like a bad idea to
me.
