But what if I wanted it to print this instead? Wed Feb 28 00:00:00 BRT 2007 The point of making it an error was because no matter how you resolve an ambiguity, someone else wants it resolved in the opposite direction. The easiest way to treat both demands equally is to complain loudly that it is ambiguous, rather than trying one of the options and guessing wrong. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
