Ok, that's definitely an explanation; I personally [very, very] rarely test a 
'require', so the thought hadn't occured to me.  

It just seems odd to me that, in a VHLPL language that generally seems so 
'eloquent' (or at least terse), you have to stutter out 'require' several 
times on a regular basis.  POLS would dictate (IMHO) a more direct approach 
to something done so regularly.
