I see, I misunderstood how you said that, but I get it now. :) Sorry about that!

Yeah, the fact that it's the opposite in C++ was a huge point of contention before we defined it; changing what was there risked breaking a lot of code, and there are good reasons for either order. But yeah, I had to go and look at the RFC for exactly the reasons you state; it just isn't normal to care about this at all, so it's easy to not remember.
