I have used odd-even examples a lot when presenting this concept, and inevitably the response
is "Whoa, that's cool". What I'm missing are more challenging real-world use-cases to justify 
the construct, and an exploration of why the challenging cases would not need debugger 
support at that point.

My concern (and I am happy to be corrected) is that any code that becomes slightly more 
complex loses the beauty and readability and hinders debugging at the same time.
