Who should have decided to establish that "trick way"? Where is it specified?
Of course, the "0+" is only the extreme simplification of what I had originally
when I discovered the bug. There are also relevant formulas resulting in arrays
to pass to MATCH in the second place.
In fact I discovered the bug when I tried to get a REVERSE MATCH against an
ascending column-array by something like
{=MATCH(Value;INDEX($B$1:$B$10;ROW($B$10)-ROW($B$1:$B$10)+1;1);-1)}
I did not find too easily the way back to the root of the bug: making a
difference between an array referenced directly and one with the identical
elements calculated in the parameter position where it's used.
The bug is from ancient days and seemingly was not reported all the time. It's
a bug nonetheless. And it may e.g. throw light on a flaw in the design of the
code concerned with array evaluation generally. It may also be an isolated
problem with MATCH.</pre>
