And also for modular code. I've made a lot of use in, eg., matheval and
eusql for handling lots of different things using routine_id, where I
have a main loop, and then the actual code for each case is contained in
its own routine. To add new cases, I just add a new routine and add its
id and condition to a couple of sequences that are referenced in the
main loop.
