53 1.5 rillig # misleading anyway, that piece of code is probably not necessary. The wrong

56 1.5 rillig # To trigger this difference, the variable assignment must use the assignment

58 1.5 rillig # be 2 expressions that create a parse error, which in this case is ':OX'.
59 1.5 rillig # These expressions must be nested in some way. The below expressions are
60 1.5 rillig # minimal, that is, removing any part of it destroys the effect.

62 1.5 rillig # Without the 'static', there would be one more message like this:
