I think Chad’s point stands. It seems whatever is encapsulated in the

Actually, I think you assumed more meaning in what I said than I
intended. The same goes for the previous poster, too. I didn’t mean
that the precedence diference wouldn’t or shouldn’t prompt you to choose
wisely between do…end and {…} syntaxes – only that the difference
in
precedence between the two isn’t something I’d seen, or probably
should
see. I mean precedence “between the two” in the same way I’d mean it in
relation to + and * operators: when stringing things together, the
precedence of + and * in relation to one another becomes important, such
as in this case of potentially ambiguous intent:
1 + 2 * 4

Over and out :wink:

I didn’t mean to say you’d said too much – just thinking that this is
the kind of topic where people (not you specifically) get into these
long, aimless ping-pong matches which don’t actually result in
anything, and hoping to avert that (again, not you specifically).
