I use strictarr in everything I do because of subtle, difficult issues I
have had in the past without it. I would be interested in the results of
the time tests, but I wouldn't consider stopping use of it unless the
results were very bad for it.

I use logical_predicate in special circumstances, but don't use any of
the other options. I guess I just haven't been bitten by those
particular problems yet.
