If every call to the function f will be of the form f(A, g(B), C) where A, B, 
and C are expressions, it's generally cleaner to push the g call into f's body, 
and change f's API so that calls to it look like f(A, B, C) instead. That's all 
I was doing there. It was more of a clarity than an efficiency thing (the form I 
used is more efficient than what you're proposing, but efficiency doesn't really 
matter here).
