I wonder if the person who wrote the spec for RegExp is on this list. I would like to ask one question: Was there any reason why the following steps were defined in the present order:
21.2.2.4 Alternative The production Alternative :: Alternative Term evaluates as follows: 1. Evaluate Alternative to obtain a Matcher m1. 2. Evaluate Term to obtain a Matcher m2. instead of: The production Alternative :: Term Alternative evaluates as follows: 1. Evaluate Term to obtain a Matcher m1. 2. Evaluate Alternative to obtain a Matcher m2. or, was it a matter of preference? If any side effect I am missing exists in the latter order, I need to reconsider or abandon my compact version.
