This is true, although I use the compiler's warning about reordering to
protect me from it. AFAIK the standard doesn't require a diagnostic and it
would IMHO be better if the code would be rejected if the order is not
correct. It's easy to change your code to reflect the correct order and I
can't see any reason why you could need any different style.
