Didn't think about it, but it is a worthy point to make.  Unlike the
call to l_opt() buried inside a conditional, it makes it stand out
that what we see upfront is one of the commands the function will
run.  It is especially valuable when a function is almost exclusively
about running a single command, but then we will have a single call
to l_opt() without much preparations or clean-ups around it, so the
visual noise that detracts our eyes away from the actual commands
may not be all that bad, though.

Yeah, good eyes.

Thanks.
