1. the amount of nesting that java requires punishes you for
    trying to pass code as a parameter

2. your newline placement punishes nesting

3. your way of counting the amount of code doubly punishes trying to pass
    code as a parameter because (1) and (2)

4. java's lack of macros punishes anyone trying to write what they really
    mean

5. if you had a system that automatically looked at whether your program
    is busy and changed the cursor accordingly, there wouldn't be any
    problem and you would never get bugs related to whether you should
    or shouldn't use runWithWaitCursor in a specific situation
