which reminds me of the following little absurdity gem from the language
reference:
The following identifiers are used as keywords of the language, and
cannot be used as ordinary identifiers. They must be spelled exactly
as written here: /.../
(maybe it's just me).
btw, talking about idioms used in the language reference, can any of the
native speakers on this list explain if "A is a nicer way of spelling B" means
that "A is preferred over B", "B is preferred over A", "A and B are the same
word and whoever wrote this is just being absurd", or anything else ?
