My own objection isn't to allowing "fR" or "fbR", it's to allowing the uppercase "F".
I also don't understand why we can't say "if 'f' is part of a string prefix, it must be first".
Sometimes order matters, and sometimes it does not. If the order does not have an impact on the final code, it does not matter, and making us have to remember an order that does not matter is a waste.
Order that matters? You must be kidding. That would turn different types of string extremely hard to understand because semantics differ. That is, btw., one reason, why I favor a fixed order (alphabetically or something). Easy to remember and no way to misinterpret it. Best, Sven
