However the name suggests that it might provide the answer for the original problem. It depends on what you want to do, right? Otherwise, the cascading selects suggested by you and JPR are probably a cleaner approach than looking at guard conditions. (It corresponds nicely to the sort of cascading if's that typically get created to handle non-tasking "priority" issues & is probably more clear to the reader as to what is being done.)
