  Especially, I trust ML server to optimize such expressions ;-)  I do prefer to make the intent clear, than trying to always think about optimization (if you write code properly and clearly, this is rarely necessary.)

    We should forget about small efficiencies, say about
    97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of
    all evil.
