in thread What is the best way to compare variables so that different types are non-equal?

I don't know why you crossed out "compiles".

Because the docs I quoted used the term 'normalises'. Can they be both compiled and normalised? Can they be normalised and not compiled or vice versa?

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

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

    Can they be both compiled and normalised?

    Yes. I didn't mean to imply what you said was wrong.

    Can they be normalised and not compiled or vice versa?

    No.

    qr// always compiles.

    qr// always returns the regex flags when used as as string.
