Any less awkward synonim? For other readers' convenience, the statement in which the word appears is:
"This mechanism is rendered mostly useless when derived1, derived2 and derived3 elements are traversed interspersedly without a definite pattern."
"interleaved", perhaps?
"to explicitly forbid" split infinitive
At the risk of starting a style war, it is my understanding that split infinitives are okay when used wth caution. Here, the alternative:
"to forbid explicitly copying at"
seems (to me) less clear as it might be parsed as referring to some sort of explicit copying...
FWIW, as a native English (or dialect thereof) speaker, the original version sounds better to me, and not just because of the ambiguity of the alternative. As far as I am aware, objecting to split infinitives is out of fashion, and was never all that popular to begin with.
