Subject: | Operators '=' ‘:=’ ‘::=’ in manual |

Hi, Operators ‘=’ ‘:=’ ‘::=’ seem to have two dimensions these control things expansion recursiveness (simple vs. recursive expansion) expansion time (immediate vs. deferred) Those two natures of mentioned operators are presented in manual at two separate locations. If there is location in manual which points out dual nature of operators, it must be deep in manual, not before chapter 6.2. This can be bad for reader as latter one is not obligated to read it in a way
their reading hits both descriptions. Regards kdt
