That's currently spelled 'if (FolioMulti(folio))'.  But it can be changed
if there's a really better alternative.  It'll make me more grumpy if
somebody comes up with a really good alternative in six months.
The folio name keeps growing on me.  Still not perfect, but I do like
that it is:

 a) short

and

 b) very different from page
