I see your point, but the problem then is: what order should the tests
be done in? At least in the current state it is clear - `first check
that the IP is this, then check that it's that, then check the name is
such-and-such' and so on. One of the problems with the historical
`backwards' state was in deciding on (and then explaining!) how multiple
options interacted with each other.
