[ic] Cookies-Enabled Checking Routine

[G Guttero]

Why is the cookies-enabled checking routine in the demo like this:

	[calc]
		my $cname = $Config->{CookieName} || 'MV_SESSION_ID';
		$Scratch->{have_cookie} = $Tag->read_cookie($cname)
			and delete $Scratch->{tried};
		return;
	[/calc]
	[if scratch have_cookie]
	[elsif scratch tried]
    		You must have cookies set to leave the basket. Check out now or 
forever
    		lose your shopping cart.
	[/elsif]
	[else]
		[set tried]1[/set]
		[bounce href="[area ord/basket]"]
	[/else]
	[/if]

Why isn't it simple like:

[if type=explicit compare="q{[read-cookie MV_SESSION_ID]}"]
[else]
You must have cookies set to leave the basket. Check out now or forever lose 
your shopping cart.
[/else]
[/if]

What is the added benefit of the top one?
