Thanks, matz and Hal, for the explanation. I’ll catalog it
and remember it :0), but I wish this boundary condition
were covered in the pickaxe book ( p. 284 ).Have you checked if it is in “Things newcomers should know” ?
Just checked and didn’t see it there; if I can think of a sensible way to
write it up, I’ll submit it to billtj ( its maintainer ). Thanks.
