Sure.  The "if you prefer" is a subtle hint that bikeshedding is
not intended.  To avoid having your audience think that
bikeshedding has begun, a *non-subtle* hint is even more
helpful, which is why I like to use intentionally ugly
pseudo-syntax (like __NWC_BLOB__, in another thread)
during such discussions.
