I've used it for a dynamic programming problem, which made things much
easier. But generally, I find that things come out cleaner when you
don't use named variables. The dataflow is more direct. When you write
things by dividing them into small words, the need for named variables
is diminished; the ability to omit variable names also makes it easier
to divide things into smaller chunks.
