In the example of section 4.4.3 (self-determined expressions), the following
appears:
<p>c = {a**b} ;
// expression a**b is self determined
<br>$display( ...) ; //
due to {}
<p>The comment on the second line is a continuation of the comment of the
first line, but looks like it is a comment on the second line. Worse, the
comment on the first line looks self-contained, since it is a complete
sentence,
<br>so the reader does not associate the next line comment with it.
<p>You might say that's not reasonable, but it is a fact that it confused
me, and it took me a long time to understand by a**b is self-determined.
<p>It should be
<p>c = {a**b} ; // expression a**b is self determined due to
{}
<br>$display(...) ;
<p>Shalom
