The issue has to do with "dynamic evaluation" between the pound signs. In
CFMX you can do the following:
#1+2#
and it will output 3. You can get more complex as well - including logic as
in
#not true# (outputs no)
#not false# (ouptputs yes)
This illustrates how NOT is not a function but an operand. The parenthesese
are incidental.
#not true# is the same as #not (true)# or #not(true)# or the result of a
function call #not isdefined('foo')#.
In each case the result (if a scalar) is legal. In CF 5 and earlier this
was not the case and would have required an "evaluation( )" encapsulation or
a SET statement that gave the server a straight path, as in:
<cfset tmp = not true><br/>
not true = #tmp#<br>
<cfset tmp = not(true)>
not(true) = #tmp#<br>
