I guess you can break that down a bit. I use the hmw/c-a-e-m function,
because it looks in several places to find an expansion for the thing

Ah, I wasn't aware that that is a use case ;). I think that can work,
I'm not sure though, if it works more or less OOTS or if programming

sound like strange phrases ;).
