We've seen this before when talking about lvalue subs! ;-)

Yes. We have haven't we. It has been a recurrent theme of ours.:)

Though they fixed the original problem of any one sourcecode statement only having a single lvalue ref that got reused each time that statement was reexecuted.

I thought that had fixed the problems--but maybe my notion of what an lvalue ref should do is different from what the authors envisaged?

Examine what is said, not who speaks.
Silence betokens consent.
Love the truth but pardon error.
