I expected as you said.


Result:

1. explicit local
local uFolder = unicode.new(?#C:\#)
unicode.file_watchfolder(uFolder, "Win.Debug(,)")
//=> u_3001 u_3001
- folder info is overwritten with a file.


2. implicit local within expression
unicode.file_watchfolder(unicode.new(?#C:\#), "Win.Debug(,)")
//=> u_3001 u_3002


3. static
static uFolder = unicode.new(?#C:\#)
unicode.file_watchfolder(uFolder, "Win.Debug(,)")
//=> u_3001 u_3002


In case of #2, it seems not to increase handle counts.
So when evaluating Arg(2), handle might be assigned sequentially.
