It seems that's something's broken when you have to write something in an 
unnatural way (from math on we always think of the vairable first, 0 == x 
sounds like we're testing zero, not x), just to prevent a hidden (but 
probably warned about, and I jump on those warnings =), logic-error. Or 
was there a less inane reasoning behind this, I can't remeber. (Been a 
long time since I heard discussion of this.)
