@kirby that sounds about right, although other use cases include concatenating integers to strings, usage of different number sizes or functions of variable parameters but which don't justify creating a list

@kirby (it's sort of like templates, which aren't as important when you don't have custom classes inside data structure hierarchies)

@kirby Computer nerds choose the most obtuse and fancy-sounding names for the most mundane things. I remember being like this when I found out what "dependency injection" is supposed to be.
