I see. So I'd like to make a quick poll for Boosters: Overloading the comma
operator in a way that could change order of evaluation of its arguments is:

a) an obsolete coding standard
b) a valid coding standard
c) a valid coding standard, but for reasons x, y, and z, the initialization
library doesn't violate it/violates it but gets away with it/etc.

Thanks!
