I'm following this side-effects stuff and I must say that I'm completely baffled
as to why code relying on ambiguous side-effects is any more readable than
properly written code.

I just don't get why it matters that much.

I would certainly be against reverting back to the "bad old undocumented
behavior" way.

You don't have to reply, Chris. I've read your feelings on it and I don't feel
like arguing about it. I'm just sharing my opinion.
