i am not sure this approach matches the original idea of toggling. by
definition, toggling does not care about the prior state. if it did, you
would instead simply switch to the opposite of the current state. if you
have a toggle service, you must accept that you cannot predict the
result *after* the toggle, because you do not know the state *before*
the toggle. if you do, you're simply using "toggle" as a weird synonym
that sometimes means "on" and sometimes means "off", and then maybe just
using those terms would be a lot less confusing.
cheers,
dret.
