Nick,
very smart solution, thanks. Seems it is often the simple solutions
that are so hard to find.
The difference to the "-tabulate- solution" is that <var> is allowed
to be a constant here, which is perfectly alright for a binary
variable. It is for Bert to decide whether the indicators are allowed
to be constant or have to vary.

You can also do this by e.g.
assert inlist(var, 0. 1)
