Hi All,

Just had a bit of an embarrassing incident in some code where I did:

sometotal =+ somevalue

That's just a strange way of expressing

sometotal = +somevalue

Indeed, but why should this be possible? When could it do something useful? :-)

+ is a normal overridable operator. -- Regards, Benjamin
