Looks like the simple var check is better performance wise.  Personally I
never felt the need for defined? - only during my initial Ruby stages,
when I carried some Perl thinking with me; but never after I got rid of
that. :-)

Ah, and btw, you don't need the "true if ".  Not that it matters
performance wise since you applied it everywhere - but I prefer to reduce
redundancy... :-)

Kind regards
