in thread Style, *again*

I see.

I do sometimes write the constant first, because I want to reduce the amount of punctuation. If you write:

foo $x, $y == 4

then foo isn't called with arguments $x and $y. You'd need to write that as:

foo ($x, $y) == 4

Or

4 == foo $x, $y

And since == is a symmetric operation (assuming it's not overloaded), I don't feel strongly for the "topic first" argument. But I can see your point.
