True, it gets the job done. As you indicate, stylistically it does not
look particularly nice. I am not claiming the FT variant is perfect
but at least it is quite clear what it does and clarity of the code is
important. However, I guess it is not particular important to avoid
reading the arguments twice so we could just drop this FT variant
completely.
