Have you thought about what it might do in the case of the new extended 
cities where R has no bounds (though I doubt (BG TM) one would ever need
to go beyond 5-10).

The fix to reorder the loops is so trivial that one shouldn't even need
to think about it. But I am sure there are several ways to order pre-cached
values for doing tighter fill loops as well if you really need to keep
your most expensive loops on the inside.

For a few minutes brainpower, you never have to worry about whether a map
may be composed of city regions down the road.

As too exaggerating ... Jason *always* needs to be whacked on this reflex :-).
