Note, though, that there is this aspect of it:

rather than write:

do_something(foo.at(bar));
do_something(foo.at(bax));
do_something(foo.at(baz));

you can write

if (bar >= 0 && baz <= foo.size() ) {
  do_domething(foo[bar]);
  do_something(foo[bax]);
  do_something(foo[baz]);
}

So, rather than looking at single-condition cases, we should remember
to consider multi-condition ones.
