in thread Inchworm vs scalar: on boolean false value

Binary "~~" does a smartmatch between its arguments.
Here it's the unary ~~ though (or rather, two unary ~ in a row), because of the commas, the same way that A, -B is a list of two values, not the difference between the list (A,) and the scalar B.

    It looked unary for me too, but I'd rather prefer being sure.

    That's why I mentioned Deparse.
