Unlike some other questions of style, there is not unanimous agreement 
on this one.

If you're trying to show someone a simple-looking language, use internal 
"define".

If you're trying to develop complicated code, then disregard the fashion 
police, and do whatever works best with the rest of the style of that 
code.  And be ready to switch, should conditions change or your mind change.
