In any case I can't see any post in this thread which gives the correct explanation (it seems that my newsreader have missed some message though --probably one between Arkadiy's and yours). And I really want to clarify that Thorsten attitude is absolutely ok: he is asking what the problem is. What's wrong is the attitude of those who think they know the reason without realizing they do not.
I thought I pretty much understand the issue (after David explained it to me a couple of years ago, when I just started playing with typeof, and after I spent quite some time trying to work it around, although with no success), otherwise I wouldn't have tried to explain it in this thread. Since I am apparently one of those who don't realize their ignorance, I would like to see the correct explanation. Would you care to provide one? Regards, Arkadiy
