Hi,
the help for extend (`:help extend`) includes the following paragraph
< When {expr1} is the same List as {expr2} then the number of
items copied is equal to the original length of the List.
E.g., when {expr3} is 1 you get N new copies of the first item
(where N is the original length of the List).
I find both the behaviour and the help text quite confusing. Having eventually
understood the behaviour, it seems to me this might be an implementation
accident that's been documented as a feature. I wonder if the help should just
say something like "Using the same list for expr1 and expr2 [, with expr3 > 0]
is not recommended
regards,
david
