Dancing Colons

[armsys]

Referring to v15.70.0120 change log, the colons constantly change position.
What's the implication/interpretation of colons' position?

Well, the answer is at the other end of the lines. That's why I posted them...

If I can differentiate the differences, I won't ask in the first place!

I guess all you need to know is that here the dancing color makes a difference:

Code: Select all

!:a OR b      is parsed as      NOT (a OR b)
:!a OR b      is parsed as      (NOT a) OR b

(Assuming factory defaults.)
