You're right.
I don't see any need to extend the legal use of next/prior to anything else than iterators. I considered the fact that it works/worked for non-iterators an accident as the documentation only speaks about iterators and never bothers to mention non-iterators. Thus, the bug is IMHO that it's not explicitly documented that next/prior's first argument must meet the interator requirements. Regards, Daniel (Gaby: Yes, it's bending the rules. So, agreed, I won't file a DR :) -- Daniel Frey aixigo AG - financial solutions & technology Schloß-Rahe-Straße 15, 52072 Aachen, Germany fon: +49 (0)241 936737-42, fax: +49 (0)241 936737-99 eMail: daniel.frey@aixigo.de, web: http://www.aixigo.de
