Ognsya,
I would just reinforce Eric previous answer is a small set of rules that
would be worth memorising, to stop your mind imagining and attempting to
code the impossible.
My life is easier since experience has told me to resist these intuitive
but incorrect methods. You could say any nesting of things outside Eric's
rules needs a closer look before use.
One not documented here, is when you are forced to wikify a variable or
macro before use.
I would hope we could provide a way to simplify this, the wikify issue, in
the core, like a way to use a variable or macro as a parameter that causes
a wikified version to be used.
Regards
Tony
