As I read it, the objection raised was that the LIFO behavior of scalar-
valued expressions was apparently not being extended to multiple-value ones,
to which I would also take exception: that LIFO behavior is expressed in the
very syntax of the programming language and appears to have served well for
so long; why abort it in the case of multiple-valued expressions? Perhaps
the definition of "multiple-valued" needs clarification here: does it refer
to data-aggregates?
