That line of code which I wrote earlier  is what Amadou's earlier
example boils down to.

It is not a suggestion for what Amadou should use, and cannot be, because

1. Amadou has implied that he does not want that result.

2. I don't know what Amadou really wants to do. He hasn't described
the problem he wants to solve.
