Bug# 976 complains about the problem as a bug --resolved as not a bug due to compatibility with HyperCard
Bug#1137 complains about the problem as a lack of proper documentation about the quirks of the language. --I voted for this also
It seems that nobody believes that this inconsistency is the desired behavior, but because HyperCard did it this way, that is the final answer.
Well, it was the mother tongue, and it may confuse many more people and possibly break scripts if they changed it.
Personally my own preference is for the consistency you propose. But before I vote for the bug I'd like to hear the rationale for HyperCard's behavior -- where's JK Calhoun when you need him? I didn't always agree with his language recommendations but I did always respect the thoroughness of his thinking.
