  • $\begingroup$ This is pretty cool. I use this myself often, but for this question, this did not cross my mind - too bad. Big +1. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 23, 2012 at 16:26
  • $\begingroup$ @LeonidShifrin thanks. In an unrelated matter, I just found some behaviour that I found interesting and commented in the main chat but they had their minds somewhere else. I now discovered it's based on the Update[] issue but I would like to know what you think, if it would be useful, if you have a minute :) $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 23, 2012 at 16:29

  • $\begingroup$ @Rojo You are a dangerous person :). You may find my answer in this thread relevant to your suggestion - I used there the one-step evaluation method similarly to your suggestion. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 23, 2012 at 16:34
  • $\begingroup$ Thanks @LeonidShifrin... For the link and comment, not so much for the dangerous... A little limitation of using DownValues however is that they don't work well with Flat (which can't get any more complex). An advantage is that it isn't based on a bug, hehe $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 23, 2012 at 16:49
