Are you claiming you changed the tense of commutativity (a noun) or of breakage (also a noun)?

It's not what happened.

Where the docs talk of the breakage of the commutativity of the smart match operator,
you talk of the commutativity of the breakage of the smart match operator. That's nonsense.

In short, broken commutativity != commutatively broken

(I guess English grammar isn't commutative.)

    Ah! So you can infer my meaning...

    Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
    "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
    In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

      Apparently not. I thought you just misread. Are you saying you were deliberately misquoting?

      If you're playing games, they're going over my head.

        Due to the commutativity breakage, code references are no longer treated specially when appearing on the left of the ~~ operator,

        Re-read that original in the light of your new insight and ask yourself:

        1. Is the breakage, commutative?
        2. Are code references no longer treated specially because the breakage is commutative?
