Absolutely agree. Yet, without wishing to go off on a tangent, we're 
talking about call-chaining and not parameter evaluation-order. These 
are different things, and there was a painfully long thread on exactly 
this subject a year or two ago.

Walter closed that one by stating call-chaining can only realistically 
evaluate from left to right (or something to that effect) and that's 
what D does.

I'm sure JCC could locate that thread in a heartbeat ... don't know how 
he does that, but he sure is effective at it :)
