*LOL*, I swear, that wasn't there the last time I read that section! ;-)
But seriously, was that always in there or is that some recent addition?
It might be some time ago when I last read about string handling,
because I never had any problems with that. However, I usually don't use
less known constructions like these that don't make immediate sense,
because I still want to be able to understand my own code in a year.
But the bottom line for this thread is: You were right, it *is*
documented behaviour.
Bye!
