Ah, sorry. I hadn't checked and wasn't sure myself whether the first
pairing or the last took priority. I tried to be vague enough that it
didn't matter that I wasn't sure (my theoretical programmer who relied
on this behaviour clearly *would* be sure :-)) but I obviously failed.

The moral of the story is to check my examples before posting :-)
