Documented or not, it was implemented.. So, I guess, that's two people that didn't think it was totally unreasonable. I'm also guessing that person was an experienced perl coder that implemented it.. Their patch WAS accepted afterall. ;D (For quite awhile I might add.. 5.005 through 5.6.1, at least)

Anyway.. You both make good points.. I'm to focussed on whats to the left of the arrow, where I should be focussing on the arrow itself. In that case, it makes perfect sense why it's wrong.

Good thing I just stumbled on this, feature!? 8D I haven't used it much. Thanks for the discussion!
