side-effects in evaluating _place_ Per Bothner 09 Mar 2020 23:39 UTC

The specification for string-append! and string-replace! should probably
note that an implementation is free to evaluate the _place_ either once
- or twice (both as LHS and as RHS) so it should have neither side-effects or
non-trivial computation.
