I tried to make LiveCode crash fiddling with side-effects using this. So far, I have not been able to. As most of us have come to realize; there are some very smart people in Scotland.
This is a very handy feature. I usually use a functional style (using lots of simple, pure functions) but sometimes I want to maintain mutable data. This is very handy. I can have an array of queues! I am a little embarrassed that I didn't notice when this came out.
