It's been my experience that toggles are troublesome. In order for a 
call to toggle() to be successful -- where by successful I mean that it 
makes the change you intended -- you need to know the state ahead of 
time. If you have two distinct scripts "toggling" the same value, 
they're going to get out of step and think they're turning on when 
they're turning off.

Or did you have a use-case in mind where it doesn't matter what the end 
result is as long as it's not what it was before?
