This is the new front-runner in my view. I think I'd prefer to say "break the page", and to massage the rest of the sentence accordingly. Also I like that we don't have to mention, let alone belabor, my "implicit page trap" coinage in this brief summary. > Removes grammatical ambiguity and covers all the bases. It kind of turns things inside out; instead of defining `ne`'s semantics in terms of conditional motion which then implicitly springs a trap, it puts the trap springing "first" causally, and lets any implied motion shake out from there. That may not be what the code does, but that's not important. What matters is observable behavior, and I agree--you've covered the bases. Regards, Branden
