Yes, and besides, this is much clearer to me than
  #if(a>0)
    #if(b>0)
It's especially more clear when limiting to a set:
  #if(a>0 & a<10)
because you don't need to read ahead or look at indentation to see that you're
limiting a to an interval (0,10) (or is that [0,10]?). Same goes for a
non-contigous set:
  #if((a>0 & a<10) | a>20 | a=15)
Imagine that coded as individual tests!
