Well, there is some anecdotal evidence. ;-)  I happen to have a lot of 
experience with a lot of programming languages, and I was bitten by this.

Let's put it like this: it is quite easy to overlook the significance of the 
sentence in question.  One looks at the paragraph, reads the stuff about 
evaluation, thinks "of course" and moves on.

If the sentence were in a new paragraph, and instead of with "Also" began with 
something like "More importantly", then it might have drawn more attention.

After all, the drastic semantic difference between the two forms is quite 
unlike what one is used to from programming in, say, C.  I think it would be 
helpful if it were stressed a little bit more.
