You will probably never get that clearance again. In Portland Ore. the clearance was turn final at the confluence of the two rivers, cleared for the visual landing east arriving from the south. I have no idea how the button pushers could do that at a moments notice. It is quite easy if you are a real pilot not depending on automation. The button pushers would have to enter holding to make a waypoint, but that is their problem. We should all be better than that or find another profession.
