in reply to Re^6: Order of evaluation/interpolation of references (UPDATED)
in thread Order of evaluation/interpolation of references

That is not an optimisation.

Who said anything about optimisation?

It would also prevent the bug from manifesting itself.

What bug?

If the sequences were:

Sure, but that's not what the OP wrote.

Or are you suggesting that making a copy of the non-last operand of every operator is somehow a good idea?

    Sorry, but that makes no sense in relation to what I posted.

    I'm not going to explain it again, so either re-read it more carefully, or just forget it.

      That's why I asked what you considered to be a bug. My guess: The lack of copying by operators causes other operators to behave differently than you'd expect.

      If you deliberately hide information, you only have yourself to blame for any ensuing confusion.

        Again. Nothing in your post bears any relation upon what I posted. (Your doing this a lot lately?)

        You might just as well have posted: "The french dog lick mustard blue sky cheese". It would make just as much sense.

        Read the damn post! Then reply in whole, complete, relevant, joined up sentences.

        And I hid nothing.
