No chance! I'll preserve what neurons I still have and just take your word for it. I can't believe that mortals wrote those ordering rules, it's inhuman. Musta been Gods From Outer Space.
Seriously tho, it's good to remember that by nesting things, one can enforce an order of processing. Thanks Peter.
