In my language that is not allowed. The order of operations,
as dictated by the developer, are honored. A feature has to
be enabled to allow that kind of reordering.


My language focuses on data correctness, not speed. Computers
today are fast enough for 99% of general purpose apps. It's
time for them to mature into data correctness in all areas.
