I agree that it isn't necessarily a problem in the IDE, but only in
hindsight when you start to analyze what's really going on. It is
definitely something that can and will trip people up, so documenting
the behavior is, IMO, the right thing to do. And I thought that was
one of the purposes of a blog, anyway - documenting the journey so
that others coming after won't trip in the same places. If there are
actual bugs they belong in bugzilla.

OTOH, *I* can reproduce it here without a problem, and it was a
surprise to me... may be a Windows thing - I haven't had a chance to
try it yet in OSX.
