[Jprogramming] LoBrow: browser for locale contents

[Ian Clark]

I'd noticed that from SAJ.ijs.

Actually my example is a bozo one, just for illustration. Since I've
had such bad experiences of this nature, I take special care when
coding logical tests.

But I've seen some strange side-effects from writing =: for =.,
especially with "y" involved, that I resolve to go on proactive
bug-hunts in my code, looking for all instances of y =: and =.

Maybe I'll adapt LoBrow to show big red warnings. (There... it'll be
of some use after all!)
