Sounds convincing to me. I think there's an issue where the expression is being tokenized before the decision on which side to evaluate is made. The tokenization result hinges on said decision. By placing the parentheses around it, it is then tokenized in the correct "context". That's my initial theory anyway. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
