The hyperbole in this thread is impressive. Not just "I can hardly imagine anyone PROPOSING a stronger bug magnet". You cannot imagine one even existing. And this is after people have proposed that "if x = 1:" become the spelling for assignment expressions - something so well known as a bug magnet that C compilers specifically warn against it, and style guides recommend always writing "if (1 == x)" instead. Claiming that "?." is *the worst possible bug magnet* rather weakens your credibility here. ChrisA
