Yes you are right. I found that I was wrong just after Regan post with old
threads concerning this issue.

There must be some other rule broken in this case, because I didn't know
that in C++ behaviour is same. :-) Probably rule which is broken is just...
programmer intuition...

Although current behaviour is not very intuitive I can live with it (knowing
that there are arguments against intuitive behaviour). I think that it
would be good idea to document it better (including few arguments why it
was chosen over Java style behaviour).
