Maybe, but adding the family into the function name doesn't make it more
clear. After all, the family is just a number.

I'm open to other suggestions which make this logic easier to follow
- although this is as confusing as it gets already and I doubt that
calling it whatever would make it more clear...

In any case, the family number ain't the right one.

Thx.
