I was aware of the time penalty caused by list building, thanks Richard. (In
fact, I was discussing this issue a while back with Nigel Garvey, who can
always be relied for much wisdom - especially when the subject involves
speed and performance!) :-)
In spite of this, I still use 'multiple assignment' for various scripts,
mainly for compactness. If performance becomes a real issue, then it's
fairly easy to separate out the assignment statements.
However, it's a good point - and one well worth making here. :-)
