That was a completely pointless comment, Shlomi.

He's trying to showcase an action on two objects that have the exact same
level of importance and relevance. Calling them $a and $b is the same as
$homer and $marge or $object1 and $object2 or $first and $second or
anything of that order.

This is a case where $a and $b makes absolute sense. It is also the same
case as Perl's sort() function that uses $a and $b to indicate two values
of the same importance.

We honestly don't have to comment on *everything* people say and do.
(and I probably shouldn't have commented on what you said either, so
apologies for that)

Have a good day,
s.
