I don't consider this as a bug in the implementation, it works as well with a$ as with simply a, as is optimal for compatibility sake. But I understood that we have to report documentation issues in bugzilla. And the main implication of the text in consideration is that you have to use the $ extension (in the example) every time you use the variable, which is obviously wrong; therefore the text section should be corrected. As "for the sake of readability and maintainability": if one would understand a$ as a name for a variable to be always used, that would astonish me.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
