      And !TIL that Yoda Conditionals are actually a pretty good idea: If you accidentally mistype 'if (5 = y)' then the compiler barfs instead of getting the unwanted side-effect of adding 5 to y with 'if (y = 5)' https://discourse.codinghorror.com/t/new-programming-jargon/41/5

         The biggest problem with yoda typocheck isn't the syntax, it's the shaky foundation: if you want your LHS to be const, you're better off just casting your LHS to const.
